    Abstract

    An integer-N digital PLL architecture is presented that simplifies the critical phase path using a sub-sampling binary (bang-bang) phase detector. Two power-efficient techniques are presented that can reduce DCO frequency tuning step by voltage-domain and time-domain (pulse-width) modulating the DCO LSB varactors. Measurement shows 210fs RMS jitter at 11.8GHz DCO frequency and 6mW power.
