Supply Noise

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.

This paper realized a charge pump phase locked loop (CPPLL) frequency source circuit based on 0.15 μm Win GaAs pHEMT process. In this paper, an improved fully differential edge-triggered frequency discriminator (PFD) and an improved differential structure charge pump (CP) are proposed respectively. 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. The chip area is 2701 μm × 3381 μm, and the power consumption is 181 mw.

PurposeCharge pump phase locked loops (CPPLLs) are nonlinear systems as a result of the nonlinear behavior of voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO). This paper aims to specify jitter generation of voltage controlled oscillator phase noise in CPPLLs, by considering approximated practical model for VCO. Design/methodology/approachCPPLL, in practice, shows nonlinear behavior, and usually in LC-VCOs, it follows second-degree polynomial function behavior. Therefore, the nonlinear differential equation of the system is obtained which shows the CPPLLs are a nonlinear system with memory, and that Volterra series expansion is useful for such systems. FindingsIn this paper, by considering approximated practical model for VCO, jitter generation of voltage controlled oscillator phase noise in CPPLLs is specified. Behavioral simulation is used to validate the analytical results. The results show a suitable agreement between analytical equations and simulation results. Originality/valueThe proposed method in this paper has two advantages over the conventional design and analysis methods. First, in contrast to an ideal CPPLL, in which the characteristic of the VCO’s output frequency based on the control voltage is linear, in the present paper, a nonlinear behavior was considered for this characteristic in accordance with the real situations. Besides, regarding the simulations in this paper, a behavior similar to the second-degree polynomial was considered, which caused the dependence of the produced jitter’s characteristic corner frequency on the jitter’s amplitude. Second, some new nonlinear differential equations were proposed for the system, which ensured the calculation of the produced jitter of the VCO phase noise in CPPLLs. The presented method is general enough to be used for designing the CPPLL.
