Design of double ring lock ring in extensible frequency clock generator chip

Abstract

With the continuous development of computer technology and the continuous improvement of interface data rate, the clock frequency has reached the demand of several gigahertz, which makes the electromagnetic interference problem very serious. Spread spectrum clock is an effective method to reduce electromagnetic interference of digital chips. Therefore, this paper designs a double-loop phase-locked loop that can spread spectrum and has strong anti-electromagnetic noise interference ability. The designed dual-loop phase-locked loop can be used in the clock generator chip. The overall structure of the circuit consists of a main loop and a secondary loop. The main loop is an adjustable phase-locked loop circuit that can provide an output with a center frequency of 500MHz. The secondary loop can realize the spread spectrum function by charging and discharging the filter capacitor of the main loop loop, and at the same time, the spreading depth can be set by the feedback based on the frequency division. The dual-loop phase-locked loop designed in this paper has a good effect in spread spectrum and anti-electromagnetic interference noise.
