The Individual

The aim of this work is to tackle the problem of modulation wave shaping in the field of near field communication (NFC) radio frequency identification (RFID). For this purpose, a high-efficiency transmitter circuit was developed to comply with the strict requirements of the newest EMVCo and NFC Forum specifications for pulse shapes. The proposed circuit uses an outphasing modulator that is based on a digital-to-time converter (DTC). The DTC based outphasing modulator supports amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation, operates at four times the 13.56 MHz carrier frequency and is made fully differential in order to remove the parasitic phase modulation components. The accompanying transmitter logic includes lookup tables with programmable modulation pulse wave shapes. The modulator solution uses a 64-cell tapped current controlled fully differential delay locked loop (DLL), which produces a 360° delay at 54.24 MHz, and a glitch-free multiplexor to select the individual taps. The outphased output from the modulator is mixed to create an RF pulse width modulated (PWM) output, which drives the antenna. Additionally, this implementation is fully compatible with D-class amplifiers enabling high efficiency. A test circuit of the proposed differential multi-standard reader’s transmitter was simulated in 40 nm CMOS technology. Stricter pulse shape requirements were easily satisfied, while achieving an output linearity of 0.2 bits and maximum power consumption under 7.5 mW.

An all-digital multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL)-based clock multiplier featuring a time-to-digital converter (TDC) to achieve fast power-on capability is presented. The proposed MDLL adopts a new offset-free cyclic Vernier TDC to achieve a fast lock time of 15 reference clock cycles while maintaining a wide detection range and high resolution. The proposed offset-free TDC also uses a correlated double sampling technique to remove mismatch and offset issues, resulting in low jitter characteristics. After the MDLL is quickly locked, the TDC is turned off, and it goes into delta-sigma modulator (DSM)-based sequential tracking mode to reduce power consumption and improve jitter performance. Implemented in a 65-nm 1.0-V CMOS process, the proposed MDLL occupies an active area of 0.043 mm2 and generates a 2.4-GHz output clock from a 75-MHz reference clock (multiplication factor N = 32). It achieves an effective peak-to-peak jitter of 9.4 ps and consumes 3.3 mW at 2.4 GHz.
