摘要

An all-digital PLL (ADPLL) which employs a Delta Sigma delay-locked loop (DLL) to achieve a PVT-insensitive time resolution of the time-to-digital converter (TDC) as well as noise-shaped dithering is implemented in 65 nm CMOS. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve spur reduction with slight degradation of in-band phase noise. The 1.8 GHz ADPLL consumes 14.3 mW, while the TDC with the Delta Sigma DLL consumes 2.1 mW.
