Abstract

FLL (Frequency Locked Loop) is the core block for high-speed transceiver. It incorporates a PLL for fine locking action, and a coarse controller for coarse locking action. A coarse controller compares frequencies coarsely and is applied to detected frequency difference directly. Compare to conventional FLL, frequency is applied to proposed FLL. Proposed FLL in this paper achieves only 5 cycles for coarse lock and total frequency locking time is 5 times faster than conventional FLL. Thus, proposed FLL is more useful to Ethernet transceiver application that requires high-speed data transfer than conventional FLL. Proposed FLL is based on $0.18{\mu}m$ process.
