scholarly journals Optimization of frequency settling time of PLL using 3rd MASH Sigma Delta Modulator

To reduce settling time of PLL, an attempt to optimize the parameters has been proposed in this paper. The transient responses of various Phase Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer have been comparied with their active and passive poles effect. These results are presented on a type-II 3rd order PLL frequency synthesizer employing a 3rd order MASH sigma delta modulator. The simulation results show the improved performance of the fractional frequency synthesizer for the communication system. These results have been simulated using Advanced Design System(ADS) tool.

We are going to design and simulate low power fractional-N phase-locked loop (FNPLL) frequency synthesizer for industrial application, which is based on VLSI. The design of FNPLL has been optimized using different VLSI techniques to acquire significant performance in terms of speed with relatively less power consumption. One of the major contributions in optimization is contributed by the loop filter as it limits the switching time between cycles. Sigma-delta modulator attenuates the noise generated by the loop filter. This paper presents the implementation details and simulation results of all the blocks of optimized design.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a reconfigurable low-power sigma-delta modulator (SDM) for multi-standard wireless communications in a 90 nm CMOS technology. Both architectural and circuital reconfigurations are used to adapt the performance of the modulator to multi-standard applications. The feasibility of the presented solution is demonstrated using system-level simulations as well as transistor-level simulations of the modulator. HSPICE simulation results show that the proposed modulator achieves 76.8/78.9/80.8/85/89.5 dB peak signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio (SNDR) within the standards WiFi, WiMAX, WCDMA, Bluetooth and GSM with the bandwidth of 12.5 MHz, 10 MHz, 1.92 MHz, 0.5 MHz, and 250 kHz, respectively, under the power consumption of 37/37/12/5/5 mW using a single 1 V power supply.

A kind of fully differential integrator is designed for the modulator of Sigma-delta ADC in this paper. Fully differential structure is adopted to enlarge the amplitude of output, restrain nonlinearity and increase competence of anti-interference. The frequency of signal in this design is 10kHz and the frequency of clock signal is 100kHz. The design of fully differential integrator, capacitive common mode feedback, two-phase unoverlapping clock and switched capacitor integrator are accomplished in this paper. The simulation results in Cadence using 0.5um process show that the low-frequency gain of operational amplifier is 69.87dB, unity gain bandwidth is 37.74MHz, phase margin is 67.73 degrees and slew rate is more than 31V/μs.

In this paper, the harmonic distortion of fourth-order sigma-delta modulator is analyzed. Based on the analysis non-ideal models are established and simulation results demonstrated the validity of these models. The non-linear capacitors introduce harmonic distortion and the non-linear on-resistance nearly only introduce second order harmonic distortion. The non-ideal integrators can increase the noise floor of the modulator.The fully-differential topology can be adopted to eliminate even order harmonic distortion and the operational amplifier with high performance can also be used to decrease noise floor of the modulator.

A second-order single bit Sigma - Delta modulator which can be applied to pressure sensor is designed in this paper.The modulator uses switched-capacitor circuit,and the operational amplifier adopts a differential folded-cascode structure with PMOS tube as input. Optimizes the coefficients at the system level design using Simulink tool. The schematic simulation and analysis is by the tools of Spectre and MATLAB with Global Foundry 0.35um CMOS technology. The modulator with oversampling rate of 256 is designed at the 3.3V power supply. Finally, this paper shows the circuit simulation results of the sigma-delta modulator whose signal-noise rate is 103.9dB and resolution is 16.97bits.
