Abstract

An all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) with a proposed time-to-digital converter (TDC) which has no delay cell is designed by the 0.13-\mu{\rm m} CMOS process. The delay-cell-less TDC (DLTDC) that can suppress device noises and PVT mismatches is essential for wider bandwidth operations. Moreover, sub-gate TDC resolution can be achieved with the proposed DLTDC. A ring-VCO based digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) which reduces 1/f noise is also proposed to enhance noise performance. The 2 MHz BW ADPLL which occupies 0.42 {\rm mm}² consumes 12 mA and its measured jitter is 4 {\rm ps} _{\rm rms} at 2.4 GHz.
