A high-speed, low-power clock generator for a microprocessorapplication

This paper discusses the design of the clock generator for the Alpha 21264. As the speed performances are of primary concern in the whole design, the clock-generator jitter and phase misalignment must be as low as possible in a very noisy environment. A dedicated on-chip voltage regulator based on a bandgap reference has been designed to reduce the effect of supply noise on the clock generator. To avoid a large voltage drop across the power-supply bond wires during the startup sequence, the core frequency can be increased by steps in one period of the core clock, with a limited frequency overshoot and no missing pulses. The circuit has been implemented in a CMOS 0.35 μm process. The voltage-controlled-oscillator frequency range is between 350 MHz and 2.8 GHz, with a peak-to-peak cycle-to-cycle jitter lower than 16 ps. While booting Unix on a system, the maximum phase misalignment is lower than ±100 ps

The calibration leads to the normalized rms jitter of 0.049%.     

A low-power multiplying DLL for low-jitter multigigahertz clock generation in highly integrated digital chips

A multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL) for high-speed on-chip clock generation that overcomes the drawbacks of phase-locked loops (PLLs) such as jitter accumulation, high sensitivity to supply, and substrate noise is described. The MDLL design removes such drawbacks while maintaining the advantages of a PLL for multirate frequency multiplication. This design also uses a supply regulator and filter to further reduce on-chip jitter generation. The MDLL, implemented in 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology, occupies a total active area of 0.05 mm/sup 2/ and has a speed range of 200 MHz to 2 GHz with selectable multiplication ratios of M=4, 5, 8, 10. The complete synthesizer, including the output clock buffers, dissipates 12 mW from a 1.8-V supply at 2.0 GHz. This MDLL architecture is used as a clock multiplier integrated on a single chip for a 72/spl times/72 STS-1 grooming switch and has a jitter of 1.73 ps (rms) and 13.1 ps (pk-pk).     

A Monolithic and Self-Referenced RF LC Clock Generator Compliant With USB 2.0

A monolithic and self-referenced radio frequency (RF) LC clock generator that is compliant with USB 2.0 is demonstrated in a system-on-chip (SoC). This work presents the first successful approach to replacing an external crystal (XTAL), the crystal oscillator (XO) and the phase-locked loop for clock generation in an IC supporting USB 2.0 using a standard CMOS fabrication process. It is shown that the primary design challenges with the implemented approach involve maintaining high frequency accuracy and low jitter. Techniques for addressing both are shown. In particular, the presented architecture exploits the effects of frequency division and low far-from-carrier phase noise to achieve low jitter. From a 1.536 GHz temperature-compensated LC reference oscillator, coherent clock signals are derived at 96MHz for the SoC logic and 12 MHz for an on-chip full-speed USB PHY. Though self-referenced, approximately plusmn400ppm total frequency accuracy is achieved over process variations, plusmn10% variation in the USB power supply voltage and temperature variation from -10 to +85degC. Measured period and cycle-to-cycle jitter are 6.78 ps_rms and 8.96 ps_rms, respectively. Fabricated in a 0.35 mum CMOS technology, the clock generator occupies 0.22 mm² and draws 9.5 mA from a 3.3-V supply, which is derived from the 5-V USB power supply     

A 320 MHz, 1.5 mW@1.35 V CMOS PLL for microprocessor clockgeneration

This paper describes a low-power microprocessor clock generator based upon a phase-locked loop (PLL). This PLL is fully integrated onto a 2.2-million transistors microprocessor in a 0.35-μm triple-metal CMOS process without the need for external components. It operates from a supply voltage down to 1 V at a VCO frequency of 320 MHz. The PLL power consumption is lower than 1.2 mW at 1.35 V for the same frequency. The maximum measured cycle-to-cycle jitter is ±150 ps with a square wave superposed to the supply voltage with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 200 mV and rise/fall time of about 30 ps. The input frequency is 3.68 MHz and the PLL internal frequency ranges from 176 MHz up to 574 MHz, which correspond to a multiplication factor of about 100     

A low-jitter PLL clock generator for microprocessors with lockrange of 340-612 MHz

A fully integrated, phase-locked loop (PLL) clock generator/phase aligner for the POWER3 microprocessor has been designed using a 2.5-V, 0.40-μm digital CMOS6S process. The PLL design supports multiple integer and noninteger frequency multiplication factors for both the processor clock and an L2 cache clock. The fully differential delay-interpolating voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is tunable over a frequency range determined by programmable frequency limit settings, enhancing yield and application flexibility. PLL lock range for the maximum VCO frequency range settings is 340-612 MHz. The charge-pump current is programmable for additional control of the PLL loop dynamics. A differential on-chip loop filter with common-mode correction improves noise rejection. Cycle-cycle jitter measurements with the microprocessor actively executing instructions were 10.0 ps rms, 80 ps peak to peak (P-P) measured from the clock tree. Cycle-cycle jitter measured for the processor in a reset state with the clock tree active was 8.4 ps rms, 62 ps P-P. PLL area is 1040×640 μm². Power dissipation is <100 mW     

A low-power small-area /spl plusmn/7.28-ps-jitter 1-GHz DLL-based clock generator

In this paper, a delay-locked loop (DLL)-based clock generator is presented. Although a DLL-based clock generator requires a clean reference signal, it has several inherent advantages over conventional phase-locked-loop-based clock generators, i.e., no jitter accumulation, fast locking, stable loop operation, and easy integration of the loop filter. We propose a phase detector with a reset circuitry and a new frequency multiplier to overcome the limited locking range and frequency multiplication problems of the conventional DLL-based system. Fabricated in a 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS process, our DLL-based clock generator occupies 0.07 mm/sup 2/ of area and consumes 42.9 mW of power. It operates in the frequency range of 120 MHz-1.1 GHz and has a measured cycle-to-cycle jitter of /spl plusmn/7.28 ps at 1 GHz. The die area, peak-to-peak, and r.m.s. jitter are the smallest compared to those of reported high-frequency clock multipliers.     

A 20-Gb/s 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS serial link transmitter using an LC-PLL to directly drive the output multiplexer

A 20-Gb/s transmitter is implemented in 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. An on-die 10-GHz LC oscillator phase-locked loop (PLL) creates two sinusoidal 10-GHz complementary clock phases as well as eight 2.5-GHz interleaved feedback divider clock phases. After a 2/sup 20/-1 pseudorandom bit sequence generator (PRBS) creates eight 2.5-Gb/s data streams, the eight 2.5-GHz interleaved clocks 4:1 multiplex the eight 2.5-Gb/s data streams to two 10-Gb/s data streams. 10-GHz analog sample-and-hold circuits retime the two 10-Gb/s data streams to be in phase with the 10-GHz complementary clocks. Two-tap equalization of the 10-Gb/s data streams compensate for bandwidth rolloff of the 10-Gb/s data outputs at the 10-GHz analog latches. A final 20-Gb/s 2:1 output multiplexer, clocked by the complementary 10-GHz clock phases, creates 20-Gb/s data from the two retimed 10-Gb/s data streams. The LC-VCO is integrated with the output multiplexer and analog latches, resonating the load and eliminating the need for clock buffers, reducing power supply induced jitter and static phase mismatch. Power, active die area, and jitter (rms/pk-pk) are 165 mW, 650 /spl mu/m/spl times/350 /spl mu/m, and 2.37 ps/15 ps, respectively.
