【 摘 要 】

A new all-digital multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL) based frequency multiplier architecture with a high frequency multiplication factor N of 256 is presented. The proposed MDLL utilizes a dithering jitter reduction scheme based on a delta-sigma modulation to achieve a low deterministic jitter and a large N factor. Additionally, a new stochastic phase detector is proposed to reduce static phase offset and improve jitter performance. Implemented in a 65-nm 1.0-V CMOS process, the proposed all-digital MDLL generates 2.4-GHz output clock and achieves a peak-to-peak jitter of 6.47 ps with N =256. It occupies an active area of 0.032 mm 2 and achieves a power efficiency of 0.875 mW/GHz.
