于混合信号片上系统的低相位噪声锁相环设计

This paper describes the design of a fully integrated low phase noise CMOS phase-locked loop for mixed-signal SoCs with a wide range of operating frequencies. The design proposes a multi-regulator PLL architecture, in which every noise-sensitive block from the PLL top level is biased from a dedicated linear or shunt regulator, reducing the parasitic noise and spur coupling between different PLL building blocks. Supply-induced VCO frequency sensitivity of the PLL is less than 0.07%-fvco/1%-VDD. The design is fabricated in 0.13 μ m 1.5/3.3 V CMOS technology. The in-band phase noise of –102 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset with a spur of less than –45 dBc is measured from 1.25 GHz carrier. The measured RMS jitter of the proposed PLL is 1.72 ps at a 1.25 GHz operating frequency. The total power consumption is 19 mW, and its active area is 0.19 mm2.
