Abstract
This paper presents a charge-pump phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency-synthesizer-based low-jitter wideband clock generator for multi-protocol data communications applications. Automatic frequency calibration (AFC) using linear variable time window technology and modified multi-modulus dividers (MMD) based on sub-multi-modulus dividers (SMMD) are developed for faster locking, lower jitter, and implementation of multi-protocol data communications applications. The clock generator is fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The measured division ratio of the multi-modulus divider ranges from 1.875 to 25, and the output frequency is 46.875~625 MHz. The lock time does not exceed 30 μs, while jitter is less than 500 fs.
