Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is an integral component of most of the receivers such as GSM, GPS etc. As name indicates, oscillation is controlled by varying the voltage at the capacitor of LC tank. By varying the voltage, VCO can generate variable frequency of oscillation. Different VCO Parameters are contrasted on the basis of phase noise, tuning range, power consumption and FOM. Out of these phase noise is dependent on quality factor, power consumption, oscillation frequency and current. So, design of LC VCO at low power, low phase noise can be obtained with low bias current at low voltage.  Nanosize transistors are also contributes towards low phase noise. This paper demonstrates the design of low phase noise LC VCO with 4.89 GHz tuning range from 7.33-11.22 GHz with center frequency at 7 GHz. The design uses 32nm technology with tuning voltage of 0-1.2 V. A very effective Phase noise of -114 dBc / Hz is obtained with FOM of -181 dBc/Hz. The proposed work has been compared with five peer LC VCO designs working at higher feature sizes and outcome of this performance comparison dictates that the proposed work working at better 32 nm technology outperformed amongst others in terms of achieving low Tuning voltage and moderate FoM, overshadowed by a little expense of power dissipation.

Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit plays an important part in electronic communication system in providing high-frequency clock, recovering the clock from data signal and so on. The performance of PLL affects the whole system. As the frequency of PLL increases, designing a PLL circuit with lower jitter and phase noise becomes a big challenge. To suppress the phase noise, the optimization of Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is very important. As the power supply voltage degrades, the VCO becomes more sensitive to supply noise. In this work, a three-stage feedforward ring VCO (FRVCO) is designed and analyzed to increase the output frequency. A novel supply-noise sensing (SNS) circuit is proposed to suppress the supply noise’s influence on output frequency. Based on these, a 1.2 V 2 GHz PLL circuit is implemented in 110 nm CMOS process. The phase noise of this CMOS charge pump (CP) PLL is 117 dBc/Hz@1 MHz from test results which proves it works successfully in suppressing phase noise.

In addition, a low noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a static 64:1 frequency divider is realized. Finally, the phase locked loop (PLL) is realized by cascading each module. Measurement results show that the output signal frequency of the proposed CPPLL is 3.584 GHz–4.021 GHz, the phase noise at the frequency offset of 1 MHz is −117.82 dBc/Hz, and the maximum output power is 4.34 dBm.

This article describes the method of converting an analog signal into a digital code using a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit. The functional structure of the voltage-to-digital conversion circuit is considered. The application of the principle of phase-locked loop for controlling the duty cycle of the output signal of a phase detector when the voltage at the positive input of the operational amplifier included in the low-pass filter is investigated. In the modern world, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are available in almost every electronic device. The application of different ADC architectures is determined by their parameters and features by circuit and technological implementation. The phase-locked loop with a digital part (16-bit counter, storage register and data transfer interface) allows to obtain a precision analog-to-digital converter, based on a relatively simple circuit design, which has high accuracy and low noise level. Negative feedback of the PLL loop makes it possible to level the error of the passive elements of the low-pass filter (LPF) and the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The result of this work is an analysis of the ADC characteristics in the technological basis of 250 nm.

This paper designs a body-biased (BB) differential cascode low-noise amplifier (LNA) with current bias (CR) and capacitor cross-coupling (CCC) technology that meets the bandwidth requirements of 5 GHz wireless applications. In the design, the CCC technology in the differential cascode topology is used to effectively suppress the common mode noise, thereby improving the noise figure. The series resonant network eliminates parasitic capacitance at the input and output ends, thereby improving the power transmission efficiency. The CR technology formed by the intermediate capacitor shares the DC current input to the output device, thereby increasing the gain. This paper uses BB technology in the design to lower the threshold of the cascode device and improve the transconductance, which further improves the gain and reduces the power consumption. The CCC technology used in the paper improves linearity by eliminating the non-linear components present in the input device, which will not interfere with the transconductance of the output stage. This article has obtained excellent performance parameters including gain, noise figure (NF) and linearity without affecting the power consumption, integration and cost of the proposed design.

Basic Features

The main challenge in designing a loop filter for a phase locked loop (PLL) is the physical dimensions of the passive elements used in the circuit that occupy large silicon area. In this paper, the basic features of a charge-controlled memristor are studied and the design procedures for various components of a PLL are examined. Following this, we propose a memristor-based filter design which has its resistance being replaced by a memristor in order to reduce the die area and achieve a low power consumption. We obtained a tuning range of 741–994 MHz, a stable output frequency of 1 GHz from the transfer characteristics of voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), and an improved settling time. In addition to reduced power consumption and area occupied on the chip, our design shows a high reliability over wider range of temperature variations.
