A 25-Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit with 1:2 demultiplexer which incorporates a quadrature LC voltage-controlled-oscillator and a half-rate bang-bang phase detector is presented in this paper. A quadrature LC VCO is presented to generate the four-phase output clocks. A half-rate phase detector including four flip-flops samples the 25-Gb/s input data every 20 ps and alignes the data phase. The 25-Gb/s data are retimed and demultiplexed into two 12.5-Gb/s output data. The CDR is designed in TSMC 65nm CMOS Technology. Simulation results show that the recovered clock exhibits a peak-to-peak jitter of 0.524ps and the recovered data exhibits a peak-to-peak jitter of 1.2ps. The CDR circuit consumes 121 mW from a 1.2 V supply.

This article reports on a compact and low-power CMOS readout circuit for bioelectrical signals based on a second-order delta-sigma modulator. The converter uses a voltage-controlled, oscillator-based quantizer, achieving second-order noise shaping with a single opamp-less integrator and minimal analog circuitry. A prototype has been implemented using 0.18 μm CMOS technology and includes two different variants of the same modulator topology. The main modulator has been optimized for low-noise, neural-action-potential detection in the 300 Hz–6 kHz band, with an input-referred noise of 5.0 μVrms, and occupies an area of 0.0045 mm2. An alternative configuration features a larger input stage to reduce low-frequency noise, achieving 8.7 μVrms in the 1 Hz–10 kHz band, and occupies an area of 0.006 mm2. The modulator is powered at 1.8 V with an estimated power consumption of 3.5 μW.

Synthesizer suggests the chief feature element of clocking around modern-day high-speed energy systems. Every time appreciated seeing that for a phase-locked land (PLL), numbers synthesizers illustrate fantastic precision and even now let general object rendering linked with programmable numbers switching. While doing this dissertation lots of people deliver a certainly better model linked with Steadiness synthesizer coupled with focused on ugly Steadiness synthesizers implementing An electronic digital PLL. A persons vision might be globally placing and also specifications because of the straightforward varieties in the An electronic digital PLL: phase-frequency system, bill tubing, land purification technique, present-day dictated oscillator (VCO) coupled with programmable divider.

A fast phase frequency detector (PFD) and low gain low phase noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)-based phase-locked loop (PLL) design are presented in this paper. PLL works in the frequency range of 0.025–1.6[Formula: see text]GHz, targeting various SoC applications. The proposed PFD, designed using CMOS dynamic logic, is fast and improves the locking time, dead zone and blind zone in the PLL. The standard CMOS inverter gate-based pseudo differential VCO is used in the PLL. Also, CMOS inverter is used as variable capacitor to tune the frequency of VCO with control voltage. The proposed PLL is designed in a 180[Formula: see text]nm CMOS process with supply voltage of 1.8[Formula: see text]V. The phase noise of VCO is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100[Formula: see text]MHz. The reference clock of 25[Formula: see text]MHz synthesizes the output clock of 1.6[Formula: see text]GHz with rms jitter of 0.642[Formula: see text]ps.

This paper presents a Ku-band fractional-N frequency synthesizer with adaptive loop bandwidth control (ALBC) to speed up the lock settling process and meanwhile ensure better phase noise and spur performance. The theoretical analysis and circuits implementation are discussed in detail. Other key modules of the frequency synthesizer such as broadband voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with auto frequency calibration (AFC) and programable frequency divider/charge pump/loop filter are designed for integrity and flexible configuration. The proposed frequency synthesizer is fabricated in 0.13 μm CMOS technology occupying 1.14 × 1.18 mm2 area including ESD/IOs and pads, and the area of the ALBC is only 55 × 76 μm2. The out frequency can cover from 11.37 GHz to 14.8 GHz with a frequency tuning range (FTR) of 26.2%. The phase noise is −112.5 dBc/Hz @ 1 MHz and −122.4 dBc/Hz @ 3 MHz at 13 GHz carrier frequency. Thanks to the proposed ALBC, the lock-time can be shortened by about 30% from about 36 μs to 24 μs. The chip area and power consumption of the proposed ALBC technology are slight, but the beneficial effect is significant.
