Fractional-N phase locked loops (PLLs), widely used for clock/frequency generation in communication/digital systems, offer a frequency resolution tighter than their reference frequency. This work introduces an alternative delay locked loop (DLL) based fractional-N frequency/clock synthesizer and proposes a few architectures for it. A DLL-based synthesizer offers less close-in phase noise as it does not have the jitter accumulation problem of its PLL-based counterpart. Instead, a DLL-based synthesizer poses out-of-band spurious tones in its output frequency spectrum, a reference frequency away from main (carrier) frequency. The level of the spurious tones can be reduced by good design practice. A DLL-based synthesizer is most suitable for compact integration in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology and can be competitive in terms of power consumption and controllability. The DLL-based fractional-N synthesizer is generally competitive with its PLL-based counterpart but it looks particularly appealing for applications sensitive to close-in phase noise and/or when a high quality LC oscillator (resonance oscillator using inductor and capacitor) is not affordable.

520 $a This work also discusses implementation issues of a DLL-based fractional-N frequency synthesizer, explores different topologies and related circuit techniques for all the building blocks and describes associated trade-offs. At the circuit level, this research proposes two novel period synthesis techniques and a unique combination of a charge pump and a voltage to current converter for the delay locked loop.
520 $a A practical implementation targeting high-speed serial links applications in deep sub-micron technology is used as a test vehicle for proof of concept and to showcase the abilities and benefits of these architectures. Among the proposed architectures, the single loop one, with the best performance complexity trade-off and the ability of generating low spur levels for fractional multiplication factors close to an integer value is chosen for implementation. This proposed architecture equipped with a DeltaSigma modulator, phase interpolator based period synthesis, a differential dual compensated charge pump and a voltage to current converter to generate a fractional delay and achieves acceptable performance. The implemented synthesizer provides output frequencies between 4 GHz and 5GHz with total jitter less than 15ps when consuming about 11.5mW of power at a nominal supply voltage of 1V.
