A mode-selectable oscillator (OSC) with variable duty cycle for improved charge pump efficiency is proposed in this paper. The novel OSC adjusts its duty cycle according to the operation mode of the charge pump, thus improves the charge-pump efficiency and dynamic performance. The control of variable duty cycle is implemented in digital logic hence it provides robust noise immunity and instantaneous response. The OSC and the charge-pump have been implemented in a 0.6-μm 40-V CMOS process. Experimental results show that the peak efficiency is 92.7% at 200-mA load, the recovery time is less than 25 μs and load transient is 15 mV under 500-mA load variation. The system is able to work under a wide range of input voltage (V IN ) in all modes with low EMI.

This paper shows how clocked AC-DC charge pump circuits can be optimally designed to have the minimum circuit area for small form factor vibration energy harvesting. One can determine an optimum number of stages with simple equations and then determine the capacitance of each pump capacitor to have a target output current at a target output voltage. The equations were verified under a wide range of design parameters by comparing the output current with the simulated one. The output current of the circuit designed by the equations was in good agreement with the simulated result, to within 5% for 98% of the 1600 designs with different parameters. We also propose a design flow to help designers determine the initial design parameters of a clocked AC-DC charge pump circuit (i.e., the number of stages, capacitance per stage, and the total size of rectifying devices) under the condition that the saturation current of a unit of the rectifying device, clock frequency, amplitude of the voltage generated by the energy transducer, target output voltage, and target output current are given. SPICE simulation results validated theoretical results with an error of 3% in terms of the output current when a clocked AC-DC charge pump was designed to output current of 1 μA at 2.5 V from a vibration energy harvester with an AC voltage amplitude of 0.5 V.

This paper aims at designing a digital approach based low jitter, smaller area and wide frequency range phase locked loop (PLL) to reduce the design efforts and power which can be used in System-on-chip applications for operating frequency in the range of 0.025–1.6[Formula: see text]GHz. The low power, scalable and compact charge pump is proposed which reduces the overall power consumption and area of proposed PLL. A frequency phase detector (PFD) based on inverters and tri-state buffers have been proposed for the PLL. It is fast which improves the locking time of PLL. Also, pseudo-differential voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is designed with CMOS inverter gates. The inverters are used as phase interpolator to maintain the phase difference of 180∘ between two outputs of VCO. Also, the inverters are used as variable capacitors to vary the frequency of proposed VCO with control voltage. It demonstrates the good phase noise performance enabling proposed PLL to have low jitter and wide frequency range. All the major blocks like PFD, charge pump and VCO are designed using digital gate methodology thus saving area and power and also reduce design efforts. Also, these digitally designed blocks enable the PLL to have low jitter small area and wide range. The proposed PLL is designed in a 0.18-[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS technology with supply voltage of 1.8[Formula: see text]V. The output clocks with cycle-to-cycle jitter of 2.13[Formula: see text]ps at 1.6[Formula: see text]GHz. The phase noise of VCO is [Formula: see text]137[Formula: see text]dBc/Hz at an offset of 100[Formula: see text]MHz and total power consumed by the proposed PLL is 2.63[Formula: see text]mW at 1.6[Formula: see text]GHz.
