Abstract

This work presents a type-I differential double-edge reference-sampling ring-oscillator based phase-locked loop (DDERSPLL) utilizing locking region tracking (LRT) to achieve low jitter over process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations. The differential double-edge sampling technique is used to widen loop bandwidth (BWloop) and suppress the phase noise of the ring oscillator. The LRT is introduced to maintain the sampling points in the high-gain region to eliminate phase detection gain (KPD) variation and maintain high KPD and wide BWLoop over PVT variations. The prototype PLL implemented in 65-nm CMOS achieves 426 fs jitterRMS and consumes only 1.42 mW, corresponding to a - 245.8 dB FoMjitter and a - 261.8 dB FoMjitter, N. Over a temperature span of -45°C to 105° C and supply voltage variations of ± 15% (i.e., 0.85 V to 1.15 V), the measured jitterRMS deviation remains within 7%.
