低抖动低杂散电荷采样锁相环相位检测器
▸创新点1:电荷域子采样相位检测器(方法创新)。通过电荷域采样技术实现高相位检测增益,显著降低PLL带内相位噪声,无需传统功耗较高的隔离缓冲器,同时优化了VCO tank的调制电容。
▸创新点2:无功耗隔离缓冲器设计(电路创新)。通过最小化VCO tank的调制电容和降低采样时钟的占空比,有效抑制参考杂散,避免了传统设计中高功耗隔离缓冲器的使用。
▸创新点3:50µW RF无分频频率跟踪环路(系统创新)。在VCO面临突发频率干扰时,该低功耗环路能稳定锁定CSPLL,显著提升系统鲁棒性,功耗仅为50µW。
▸创新点4:低抖动与低杂散性能(性能创新)。在11.2 GHz下实现48.6 fs RMS抖动和-77.3 dBc参考杂散,功耗仅5 mW,综合性能优于同类设计。
Abstract
This article presents a low-jitter and low-spur
charge-sampling phase-locked loop (CSPLL). A charge-domain
sub-sampling phase detector is introduced to achieve a high
phase-detection gain and to reduce the PLL in-band phase noise.
Even without employing any power-hungry isolation buffers,
the proposed phase detector dramatically suppresses the refer-
ence spurs by both minimizing the modulated capacitance seen
by the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) tank and by reducing
the duty cycle of the
