基于环路电流脉冲采样的低毛刺分数锁相环

Low Spur Fractional PLLs Based on Loop Current Pulses Sampling

  • 摘要: 针对分数锁相环中参考毛刺和分数毛刺较难根除的问题,提出一种基于环路电流脉冲采样的低毛刺技术.通过一种可变幅度电荷泵和一种固定位置可变周期脉冲发生器,使环路电流脉冲不仅有固定位置和可变幅度而且有可变的周期.其中,固定位置和可变幅度的环路电流脉冲特性用于根除参考毛刺;可变周期的环路电流脉冲特性用于减小分数毛刺.利用SpectreTM仿真分析了参考频率为20 MHz,分频比分别为120.13和120.25时分数锁相环的毛刺性能.仿真结果表明:环路的调谐电压在参考频率20 MHz及其整数倍频率处没有参考毛刺,在分数频率10 MHz处的分数毛刺较已有方案减小19.67 dB和21.77 dB.此外,在其他分数频率的分数毛刺均小于已有方案.

     

    Abstract: Based on the problem that reference spurs and fractional spurs in fractional phase-locked loop are difficult to be eradicated, a technique of loop current pulses sampling is proposed for low spurs. By using a variable amplitude charge pump and a fixed-position variable-period pulse generator, loop current pulses were shaped to not only have fixed position, variable amplitude, but also have variable period. The properties of fixed position and variable amplitude of loop current pulses were used to eradicate reference spurs. And, the property of variable period of loop current pulses was used to reduce fractional spurs. The spur performance of a fractional phase-locked loop is analyzed by SpectreTM when reference frequency is 20 MHz and division ratios are 120.13 and 120.25. Simulation results showed that loop tuned voltage has no reference spur at reference frequency of 20 MHz and its integer multiple frequencies, and the fractional spurs at fractional frequency of 10 MHz are 19.67 dB and 21.77 dB less than the existing techniques. Moreover, fractional spurs at the other fractional frequencies were also less than the existing techniques.
