改进型鉴频鉴相器及电荷泵电路的设计*

本文设计了基于电荷泵架构锁相环电路的两个关键模块—鉴频鉴相器和改进型电流引导电荷泵。基于对扩展鉴相范围和消除死区方法的研究,鉴频鉴相器的性能得以优化。同时,为了保证电荷泵在一个宽输出电压范围内获得良好的电流匹配和较小的电流变化,许多额外的子电路被应用在电路设计中来改进电荷泵的架构。电路采用了标准90 nm CMOS 工艺设计实现并进行测试。鉴频鉴相器鉴相范围的测试结果为-354～354度,改进型电荷泵在0.2～1.1 V的输出电压范围内的电流失配比小于1.1%,泵电流变化小于4%。电路在1.2 V供电电压下的动态功耗为1.3mW。

Design of improved CMOS phase-frequency detector and charge-pump for phase-locked loop

Two essential blocks for the PLLs based on CP, a phase-frequency detector (PFD) and an improved current steering charge-pump (CP), are developed. The mechanisms for widening the phase error detection range and eliminating the dead zone are analyzed and applied in our design to optimize the proposed PFD. To obtain excellent current matching and minimum current variation over a wide output voltage range, an improved structure for the proposed CP is developed by fully utilizing many additional sub-circuits. Implemented in a standard 90-nm CMOS process, the proposed PFD achieves a phase error detection range from -354<° to 354<° and the improved CP demonstrates a current mismatch of less than 1.1% and a pump-current variation of 4% across the output voltage, swinging from 0.2 to 1.1 V, and the power consumption is 1.3 mW under a 1.2-V supply.
