Title:
Self-Biased High-Bandwidth Low-Jitter 1-to-4096 Multiplier Clock Generator PLL

Abstract:
A self-biased PLL uses a sampled feed-forward filter network and a multi-stage inverse-linear programmable current mirror for constant loop dynamics that scale with reference frequency and are independent of multiplication factor, output frequency, and PVT. The PLL achieves a multiplication range of 1 to 4096 with <1.7 % output jitter at 1.5V supply. Fabricated in 0.13um CMOS, the area is 0.182mm2 and the supply is 1.5V.
