Abstract
An arbiter-based simple phase decision circuit (PDC) optimized for high-resolution phase-to-digital converter made up of an analog phase-frequency detector and a time-to-digital converter for all-digital phase-locked loops is proposed. It can distinguish very small phase difference between two pulses even though it consumes lower power and has smaller input-to-output delay than the previously reported PDC. Proposed PDC is realized using 130-nm CMOS process and demonstrated by transistor-level simulations. A 5-bit P2D having no offset nor deadzone using the PDC is also demonstrated. A harmonic-lock-free and small-phase-offset delay-locked loop for fixing the P2D resolution regardless of PVT variations is also proposed and demonstrated.
