Abstract

This paper describes a PLL frequency synthesizer for wireless LNA applications. The design is focused mainly on low-power and low-phase noise characteristics. A 128/129 dual-modulus prescaler has been designed using the proposed TSPC D flip-flops for high-speed operation and low-power consumption The designed synthesizer includes all building blocks for elimination of external components, other than the crystal. Its operating frequency can be programmed by external data. The frequency synthesizer has been designed using a $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process parameters. It operates in the frequency range of 2GHz to 3GHz and consumes 3.2mA at 2.5GHz from a 2.5V supply.
