设计了一种宽频率范围的CMOS锁相环(PLL)电路,通过提高电荷泵电路的电流镜镜像精度和增加开关噪声抵消电路,有效地改善了传统电路中由于电流失配、电荷共享、时钟馈通等导致的相位偏差问题。另外,设计了一种倍频控制单元,通过编程锁频倍数和压控振荡器延迟单元的跨导,有效扩展了锁相环的锁频范围。该电路基于DongbuHiTek0.18μmCMOS工艺设计,仿真结果表明,在1.8V的工作电压下,电荷泵电路输出电压在0.25~1.5V变化时,电荷泵的充放电电流一致性保持很好,在100MHz~2.2GHz的输出频率内,频率捕获时间小于2μs,稳态相对相位误差小于0.6%。
A CMOS phase-locked loop (PLL) with a wide range of frequencies was presented, the phase errors arising from current mismatching in charge pump circuit, charge sharing and clock feed- through was corrected effectively by increasing the current mirror accuracy and decreasing the switching noise in the traditional charge pump circuit. In addition, a multiplier control unit was adopted to set the multiples of the output frequency and transconduetance of VCO's delay unit, expanding effectively the PLL's locking range. Based on Dongbu HiTek 0. 18 μm CMOS process, the simulation results show that when the output voltage of the charge pump circuit varies between 0.25 V and 1.5 V with 1.8 V supply voltage, the charge and discharge currents of charge pump can maintain excellent matching, and within 100 MHz-2.2 GHz output frequency range, the proposed PLL circuit can synchronize with locking time below 2 μs and the relative phase error is less than 0.6%.
