In this paper, we propose a low-power all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) with a wide input range and a high resolution time-to-digital converter (TDC). The resolution of the proposed TDC is improved by using a phase-interpolator and the time amplifier. The phase noise of the proposed ADPLL is improved by using a fine resolution digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with an active inductor. In order to control the frequency of the DCO, the transconductance of the active inductor is tuned digitally. The die area of the ADPLL is 0.8 $mm^2$ using 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The frequency resolution of the TDC is 1 ps. The DCO tuning range is 58% at 2.4 GHz and the effective DCO frequency resolution is 0.14 kHz. The phase noise of the ADPLL output at 2.4 GHz is -120.5 dBc/Hz with a 1 MHz offset. The total power consumption of the ADPLL is 12 mW from a 1.2 V supply voltage.

High-performance Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) are critical for grid synchronization in grid-tied power electronic applications. In this paper, a new single-phase All Digital Phase-Locked Loop (ADPLL) is proposed. It features fast transient response and good robustness under distorted grid conditions. It is designed for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation. As a result, a high sampling frequency of 1MHz can be obtained. In addition, a new OSG is adopted to track the power frequency, improve the harmonic rejection and remove the dc offset. Unlike previous methods, it avoids extra feedback loop, which results in an enlarged system bandwidth, enhanced stability and improved dynamic performance. In this case, a new parameter optimization method with consideration of loop delay is employed to achieve a fast dynamic response and guarantee accuracy. The Phase Detector (PD) and Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) are realized by a Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm and a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) block, respectively. The whole PLL system is finally produced on a FPGA. A theoretical analysis and experiments under various distorted grid conditions, including voltage sag, phase jump, frequency step, harmonics distortion, dc offset and combined disturbances, are also presented to verify the fast dynamic response and good robustness of the ADPLL.

A 5-phase phase-locked loop (PLL) for USB2.0 applications was implemented by using an all-synthesis technique. The length of the time-to-digital converter for the fine phase detector was halved by the operation of a coarse phase detector that uses 5-phase clocks. The maximum time difference between the rising edges of two adjacent-phase clocks was 6 ps at 480 MHz. The PLL chip in a 65-nm process occupies $0.038mm^2$, consumes 4.8 mW at 1.2 V. The measured rms and peak-to-peak output jitters are 8.6 ps and 45 ps, respectively.

In this paper, we present a phase coherent all-digital transceiver for underwater acoustic communication, which allows the system to reduce complexity and increase robustness in time variant underwater environments. It is designed in the digital domain except for transducers and amplifiers and implemented by using a multiple digital signal processors (DSPs) system. For phase coherent reception, conventional systems employed phase-locked loop (PLL) and delay-locked loop (DLL) for synchronization, but this paper suggests a frame synchronization scheme based on the quadrature receiver structure without using phase information. We show experimental results in the underwater anechoic basin at MOERI. The results show that the adaptive equalizer compensates frame synchronization error and the correction capability is dependent on the length of equalizer.

본 논문에서는 정현파 입력 신호의 위상을 PGZC(Positive Going Zero Crossing)에 대해 주기당 한번씩 추적하는 디지털 위상동기회로(DPLL)의 성능 개선을 위해 반주기마다 표본화를 행함으로써 위상오차를 감소시킬 수 있는 DPLL을 제시하였다. 제안된 DPLL은 두개의 샘플러에 의해 정현파 입력 신호의 위상을 PGZG에 대해 주기당 2회씩 추적함으로써 기존의 DPLL보다 동기대역의 손실없이 정상상태 위상오차 변동의 범위를 전체적으로 1/2 정도 감소시킬 수 있었다. 또한, 연속 표본간의 오차간격과 양자화 레벨이 동일할 경우에 있어서 반주기 표본화를 이용하는 DPLL이 기존의 DPLL보다 빠른 동기를 이루게 됨을 알 수 있었다. 이 제시된 루우프에 대한 해석 결과를 실제적으로 요구되는 조건들에 대하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 행함으로써 검증하였다.

In this paper, a new current based maximum power point tracking (CMPPT) method is proposed for a single phase photovoltaic power conditioning system and the current based MPPT modifies incremental conductance method. The current based MPPT method makes the entire control structure of the power conditioning system simple and uses an inherent current source characteristic of solar cell array. In addition, digital phase locked loop using an all pass filter is introduced to detect phase of grid voltage as well as peak voltage. Controllers about dc/dc boost converter, dc-link voltage, dc/ac inverter is designed for a coordinated operation. Furthermore, PI current control using a pseudo synchronous d-q transformation is employed for grid current control with unity power factor. 3kW prototype photovoltaic power conditioning system is built and its experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.

본 논문에서는 주파수 도약 대역확산시스템에서 널리 적용되는 FSK복조기를 설계하고 실험 결과를 분석하였다. FSK 복조회로에 있어서 가장 중요한 부분인 ADPLL의 성능을 소프트웨어를 이용하여 분석하였다. 이 분석을 토대로 Altera사에서 제공하는 Maxplus-II 툴을 이용하여 각 구성 회로를 설계하였으며 EPM7064SLC44-10 chip으로 집적화 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과와 구현된 회로의 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 결과에 있어서 PLL의 시상수는 약 2${\mu}\textrm{s}$의 차이가 발생하였다. 이 차이는 FSK복조회로에 있어서는 큰 영향을 주지 않는다. 실험결과를 보면 FSK 변조된 신호는 기준 신호와 위상 차가 180$^{\circ}$인 경우에도 설계된 회로에 의해 잘 복조 됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.

An all-digital delay-locked loop (DLL) for a mobile memory interface, which runs at 0.11-2.5 GHz with a phase-shift capability of $180^{\circ}$, has two internal DLLs: a global DLL which uses a time-to-digital converter to assist fast locking, and shuts down after locking to save power; and a local DLL which uses a phase detector with an adaptive phase sampling window (WPD) to reduce jitter accumulation. The WPD in the local DLL adjusts the width of its sampling window adaptively to control the loop bandwidth, thus reducing jitter induced by UP/DN dithering, input clock jitter, and supply/ground noise. Implemented in a 65 nm CMOS process, the DLL operates over 0.11-2.5 GHz. It locks within 6 clock cycles at 0.11 GHz, and within 17 clock cycles at 2.5 GHz. At 2.5 GHz, the integrated jitter is $954fs_{rms}$, and the long-term jitter is $2.33ps_{rms}/23.10ps_{pp}$. The ratio of the RMS jitter at the output to that at the input is about 1.17 at 2.5 GHz, when the sampling window of the WPD is being adjusted adaptively. The DLL consumes 1.77 mW/GHz and occupies $0.075mm^2$.

This paper proposes a novel current-based maximum power point tracking (CMPPT) method for a single-phase photovoltaic power conditioning system (PV PCS) by using a modified incremental conductance method. The CMPPT method simplifies the entire control structure of the power conditioning system and uses an inherent current source characteristic of solar cell arrays. Therefore, it exhibits robust and fast response under a rapidly changing environmental condition. Digital phase locked loop technique using an all-pass filter is also introduced to detect the phase of grid voltage, as well as the peak voltage. Controllers of dc/dc boost converter, dc-link voltage, and dc/ac inverter are designed for coordinated operation. Furthermore, a current control using a pseudo synchronous d-q transformation is employed for grid current control with unity power factor. A 3 kW prototype PV PCS is built, and its experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.

본 논문에서는 전부 디지털 회로로 구성된 고 해상도의 DLL(Delay Locked Loop)를 제안하였다. 제안된 회로는 위상 검출기, 지연 선택 블록, 그리고 각각의 지연 체인을 가지는 Coarse, Fine 그리고 Ultra Fine 위상조정 블록의 삼 단의 형식으로 되어 있다. 첫 번째 단은 Ultra Fine 위상조정블록으로 고 해상도를 얻기 위하여 Vernier Delay Line을 사용하였다. 두 번째와 세 번째 단은 Coarse와 Fine 위상조정블록으로 각각의 단위 지연 체인을 이루는 단위 지연 소자의 해상도 만큼의 위상 제어를 하게 되며, 두 단은 상당히 비슷한 구조를 이루고 있다. 회로는 HSPICE를 이용하여 공급 전압이 3.3V인 $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 시뮬레이션 되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과 회로의 해상도를 약 10ps로 높일 수 있었으며, 동작 범위는 250MHz에서 800MHz 이다.
