Switched-Capacitor 루프 필터를 이용한 Phase-Locked Loop의 설계

A Phase-Locked Loop Using Switched-Capacitor Loop Filter

Modem standard CMOS process technology suffer from so large amount of PVT i.e process, voltage and temperature variation over 30% of its desired value that accurate resistor value is hard to be achieved. A filter using switched-capacitor(SC) circuit has a time constant proportional to relative capacitor area ratio rather than its absolute value. If the PLL's loop filter were made out of SC circuit, there could be much less PVT variation problem. Furthermore, programmability on the loop filter can be achieved In this paper, we present the PLL with SC loop filter. The accuracy provided by SC filter would be helpful to enhance PLL's locking behaviour.
