QUANTIZATION NOISE SUPPRESSION IN FRACTIONAL-N

PLLs UTILIZING GLITCH-FREE PHASE SWITCHING


MULTI-MODULUS FREQUENCY DIVIDER
ABSTRACT:
A novel programmable frequency divider for quantization noise (QN) suppression in
fractional-N phase-locked loops (PLLs) is presented in this paper. The proposed phase switching
multi-modulus frequency divider (PS-MMFD) utilizes a novel glitch-free phase switching (PS)
divide-by-0.5/1/1.5/2 cell to reduce the frequency division step to 0.5 and its QN induced by
modulation is thus suppressed by additional 6 dB. Compared with other frequency dividers used
for QN suppression, the proposed glitch-free PS-MMFD is more robust, can operate at higher
input frequency and consumes less power. Detailed analysis and implementation of the proposed
glitch-free PS-MMFD is demonstrated, followed by experimental results from a fully integrated
fractional-N PLL utilizing the proposed QN suppression technique.

EXISTING SYSTEM:
In existing model allows straightforward noise and dynamic analyses of - fractional-N
frequency synthesizers and other PLL applications in which the divide value is varied in time.
Based on the derived model, a general parameterization is presented that further simplifies noise
calculations.
