Fractional-N charge pump phase locked loops (PLLs) suffer from the problem of increased in-band phase noise due to charge pump non-linearity caused by UP/DN chargepump current mismatch. Existing techniques that resolve this problem by introducing phase offset between reference and divide signals cause large reference spurs or increase jitter at PLL output. A very low reference spur phase offset technique is proposed in this work. It produces the lowest reference spurs compared to previously published works. A detailed comparison of the reference spurs caused by the different techniques to introduce phase offset is presented. Simulation results show that the reference spur level generated at the PLL output after applying the proposed technique is 26 dB lower than the existing techniques in the presence of 5% chargepump current mismatch.<br>

In the article the architecture of a charge pump phase locked loop is shown. The influence on overall system performance of its functional blocks is discussed. Voltage controlled oscillator phase noise analysis is done and the relationship between a charge pump phase locked loop and voltage controlled oscillator phase noises are determined. The requirements and results of the accomplished design are discussed. Area of chip PLL – 150×250 μm2, power consumption – 10 mW and phase noise is –125 dBc/Hz with 1 MHz deviation from central 670 MHz frequency.

All-digital phase-locked loops (ADPLLs) based on the time-to-digital converter (TDC) and the frequency discriminator (FD) are modeled and analyzed in terms of quantization effects. Using linear models with quantization noise sources, theoretical analysis and simulation are carried out to obtain the output phase noise of each building block of the TDC-based ADPLL. It is newly derived that the TDC noise component caused by the delta-sigma modulator (DSM) and the finite resolution of the digitally controlled oscillator is not white. Namely, the in-band phase noise caused by the DSM-induced TDC is not white, which is due to the integrate-and-dump and subsampling operations of the TDC. This can give some insight into the design of low-noise ADPLLs. Some structures of delta-sigma FDs, which can serve as an alternative to the TDC, are also newly analyzed in terms of quantization noise, using the derived linear noise model.
