This book examines the issue of design of fully-integrated
frequency synthesizers suitable for system-on-a-chip (SOC)
processors. This book takes a more global design perspective in
jointly examining the design space at the circuit level as well as
at the architectural level. The coverage of the book is
comprehensive and includes summary chapters on circuit theory as
well as feedback control theory relevant to the operation of phase
locked loops (PLLs). On the circuit level, the discussion includes
low-voltage analog design in deep submicron digital CMOS processes,
effects of supply noise, substrate noise, as well device noise. On
the architectural level, the discussion includes PLL analysis using
continuous-time as well as discrete-time models, linear and
nonlinear effects of PLL performance, and detailed analysis of
locking behavior.
The material then develops into detailed circuit and
architectural analysis of specific clock generation blocks. This
includes circuits and architectures of PLLs with high power supply
noise immunity and digital PLL architectures where the loop filter
is digitized.
Methods of generating low-spurious sampling clocks for
discrete-time analog blocks are then examined. This includes
sigma-delta fractional-N PLLs, Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS)
techniques and non-conventional uses of PLLs. Design for test (DFT)
issues as they arise in PLLs are then discussed. This includes
methods of accurately measuring jitter and built-in-self-test
(BIST) techniques for PLLs. Finally, clocking issues commonly
associated to system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs, such as multiple
clock domain interfacing and partitioning, and accurate clock phase
generation techniques usingdelay-locked loops (DLLs) are also
addressed. The book provides numerous real world applications, as
well as practical rules-of-thumb for modern designers to use at the
system, architectural, as well as the circuit level. This book is
well suited for practitioners as well as graduate level students
who wish to learn more about time-domain analysis and design of
frequency synthesis techniques.
