In this paper, we propose the low fractional spur phase-locked loop(PLL) with multiple phase-frequency detector(PFD). The fractional spurs are suppressed by using a new PFD. The new PFD architecture with two different edge detection methods is used to suppress the fractional spur by limiting a maximum width of the output signals of PFD. The proposed PLL was simulated by HSPICE using a 0.35m CMOS parameters. The simulation results show that the proposed PLL is able to suppress fractional spurs with fast locking.

본 논문에서는 위상/주파수 검출기을 설계시 문제가 되는 Reference Spur을 없게 하여 Low Noise를 구현할 수 있는 No Spike PFD(Phase Frequency Detector)를 제안한다. 위상동기루프의 특별한 형태로 차지 펌프 위상동기루프가 있다. 차지 펌프위상동기 루프는 일반적으로 3-state 위상/주파수 검출기를 이용한다. 이 3-state 위상/주파수 검출기는 기준 신호와 VCO 출력 신호의 위상차에 비례하는 디지털 파형으로 출력을 내보낸다. 차지 펌프 위상동기루프 그림 1 처럼 디지털 위상/주파수 검출기(PFD), 차지 펌프(CP), 루프 필터(LF), VCO로 구성된다. PFD 는 기준 신호와 VCO 에 의해 만들어진 출력 신호를 입력받아 각각의 위상과 주파수를 비교한다. 즉, 출력 신호가 기준 신호보다 느릴 때에는 출력 신호를 앞으로 당기기 위해서 up 신호를 넘겨주고, 출력 신호가 기준 신호보다 빠를 때에는 출력 신호를 뒤로 밀기 위해 down 신호를 넘겨준다. 차지 펌프(CP)의 전류를 Ip 라고 한다면, CP 에서 LF 로 흐르거나, LF에서 CP로 흐르는 전류 Ip의 평균량이 기준 신호와 VCO 출력 신호의 위상차에 비례하는 것이다.

This paper presents a fully digital delay locked loop (DLL) that can acquire lock in four clock cycles with a resolution of a 1/4 NAND-delay. The proposed DLL with a multi-dither-free phase detector acquires the initial lock in four clock cycles with 1/2 NAND-delay. Then, it utilizes a multi-dither-free phase detector, a region accumulator, and phase blenders, to improve the resolution to a 1/4 NAND-delay. The region accumulator which continuously steers the control registers and the phase blender, adaptively controls the tracking bandwidth depending on the amount of jitter, and effectively suppresses the dithering jitter. Fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process, the proposed DLL occupies $0.0432mm^2$, and consumes 3.7 mW from a 1.2-V supply at 2 GHz.

This paper describes a reset-free delay-locked loop (DLL) for a memory controller application, with the aid of a hysteresis coarse lock detector. The coarse lock loop in the proposed DLL adjusts the delay between input and output clock within the pull-in range of the main loop phase detector. In addition, it monitors the main loop's lock status by dividing the input clock and counting its multiphase edges. Moreover, by using hysteresis, it controls the coarse lock range, thus reduces jitter. The proposed DLL neither suffers from harmonic lock and stuck problems nor needs an external reset or start-up signal. In a 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS process, post-layout simulation demonstrates that, even with a switching supply noise, the peak-to-peak jitter is less than 30 ps over the operating range of 500-1200 MHz. It occupies 0.04 $mm^2$ and dissipates 16.6 mW at 1.2 GHz.

This paper describes the design of the Register Controlled DLL(Delay-Locked Loop) that achieves fast locking and low Power consumption using a new locking algorithm. A fashion for a fast locking speed is that controls the two controller in sequence. The up/down signal due to clock skew between a internal and a external clock in phase detector, first adjusts a large phase difference in coarse controller and then adjusts a small phase difference in fine controller. A way for a low power consumption is that only operates one controller at once. Moreover the proposed DLL shows better jitter performance Because using the lock indicator circuit. The proposed DLL circuit is operated from 50MHz to 200MHz by SPICE simulation. The estimated power dissipation is 15mA at 200MHz in 3.3V operation. The locking time is within 7 cycle at all of operating frequency.

A phase-locked loop (PLL)-based frequency synthesizer is proposed for a system on a chip (SoC) using multi-frequency clock signals. The proposed PLL-based frequency synthesizer consists of a charge pump PLL which is implemented by a phase frequency detector (PFD), a charge pump (CP), a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a frequency divider, and an edge combiner. The PLL outputs a 12-phase clock by a VCO using six differential delay cells. The edge combiner synthesizes the frequency of the output clock through edge combining and frequency division of the 12-phase output clock of the PLL. The proposed PLL-based frequency synthesizer is designed using a 55-nm CMOS process with a 1.2-V supply voltage. It outputs three clocks with frequencies of 166 MHz, 83 MHz and 124.5MHz for a reference clock with a frequency of 20.75 MHz.

In the present paper, a novel fast peak detector for single- or three-phase unsymmetrical voltage sags is proposed. The proposed detector is modified from a single-phase digital phase-locked loop based on a d-q transformation using an all-pass filter (APF). APF generates a virtual phase with $90^{\circ}$ phase delay. However, this virtual phase cannot reflect a sudden change of the grid voltage in the moment of voltage sag, which causes a peak value to be significantly distorted and to settle down slowly. Specifically, the settling time of the peak value is too long when voltage sag occurs around a zero crossing, such as phase $0^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$. This paper describes the operating principle of the APF problem and proposes a modified all-pass filter (MAPF) to mitigate the inherent APF problem. In addition, a new fast peak detector using MAPF is proposed. The proposed detector is able to calculate a peak value within 0.5 ms, even when voltage sag occurs around zero crossing. The proposed fast peak detector is compared with the conventional detector using APF. Results show that the proposed detector has faster detection time in the whole phase range. Furthermore, the proposed fast peak detector can be effectively applied to unsymmetrical three-phase voltage sags. Simulation and experimental results verify the advantages of the proposed detector and MAPF.

Phase noise in a phase-locked-loop (PLL) is unwanted and unavoidable. It is a main concern in oscillation system especially PLL. The phase noise is derived in term of power spectrum density by using a reliable phase noise model. There are four noise sources being considered in this paper, which are generated by reference oscillator, voltage controlled oscillator, filter, and main divider. The major concern for this paper is the noise from the filter. Two types of second order low pass filter are used in the PLL system. Applying the mathematical phase noise model, the output noises are compared. The total noise from the passive filter is lower than the active filter at the offset frequency range between 1 Hz to 33 kHz.

A design study of phase detectors for the 2.5 Gb/s CDR circuit using a standard 0.18-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process has been performed. The targeted CDR is based on the phase-locked loop and thus it consists of a phase detector, a charge pump, a LPF, and a VCO. For high frequency operation of 2.5 Gb/s, phase detector and charge pump, which accurately compare phase errors to reduce clock jitter, are critical for designing a reliable CDR circuit. As a phase detector, the Hogge phase detector is selected but two transistors are added to improve the performance of the D-F/F. The charge pump was also designed to be placed indirectly input and output.

A delay switching PLL (DSPLL) is proposed for improvement of the frequency acquisition Performance (pull-in range) while keeping a narrow bandwidth LPF. It has, between the phase detector and the LPF, just a simple RC delay circuit, a switch and another phase detector controlling the switching time. For the common second order PLL, the pull-in capability of the DSPLL is analyzed approximately, without considering additive white noise effect, and verified experimentally. It is shown that the delay switching extends the pull-in range significantly, as much as a half of lock-range. At the phase tracking mode, the delay switching does not function, to make the DSPLL be a normal PLL.
