This paper presents behavioral models using SIMULINK and Verilog-a for a PLL based fractional-N frequency synthesizer. By adopting a top-down approach along with the traditional bottom-up transistor level design in parallel, the design time is greatly shortened, and a co-verification method for both the digital and the analog part is considered. Under this consideration, the SIMULINK modeling reduces simulation time and easily estimates the PLL's performance on the top level. Verilog-a is able to verify the feasibility of each blocks at first hand because it is compatible with transister level circuits. Then, an efficient way of the design is presented by comparing the results of both models.

When an optical disc is being played. the pick-up converts light to analog signal at first. The analog signal is equalized for removing the inter-symbol interference and then the equalized analog signal is converted into the digital signal for extracting the synchronized data and clock signals. There are a lot of algorithms that minimize the BER in extracting the synchronized data and clock when high. density optical disc like BD is being played in low speed. But if the high-density optical disc is played in high speed, it is difficult to adopt the same extraction algorithm to data PLL and PRML architecture used in low speed application. It is because the signal with more than 800MHz should be processed in those architectures. Generally, in the 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology, it is necessary to have the high speed analog cores and lots of efforts to layout. In this paper, the parallel data PLL and PRML architecture, which enable to process in BD 8x speed of the maximum speed of the high-density optical disc as the extracting data and clock circuit, is proposed. Test results show that the proposed architecture is well operated without processing error at BD 8x speed.

A CMOS transmitter ASIC for the ATM switching system etc., was designed to transmit 155.52 Mbps serial data transformed from 19.44 Mbps parallel data. 155.52 MHz clock for synchronization of data is genrated using reference 19.44 MHz clock by an analog PLL while parallel to serial data conversion is done by a digital circuit. Circuit simulations confirm that PLL locking and data conversion are accomplished successfully. The area of the designed ASIC chip is 1.3${\times}1.0mm^2$. The locking time and the power consumption of the chip are about 600 nsec and less than 150 mW, respectively.

A digital sampling algorithm that uses a two high resolution integrating Voltmeters which are synchronized by Phase Lock Loop (PLL) time clock for accurately measuring the parameters, active and reactive power, for sinusoidal power measurements is presented. The PLL technique provides high precision measurements, root mean square (rms), phase and complex voltage ratio, of the AC signal. The system has been designed to be used at the Korean Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) as a reference power standard for electrical power calibrations. The test results have shown that the accuracy of the measurements is better than $10 {\mu}W/VA$ and the level of uncertainty is valid for the power factor range zero to 1 for both lead and lag conditions. The system is fully automated and allows power measurements and calibration of high precision wattmeters and power calibrators at the main power frequencies 50 and 60 Hz.

A frequency synthesizer of 10 GHz ${\sim}$ 11 GHz for FMCW radar is designed and implemented by the form of indirect frequency synthesizer of a single loop structure. The synthesizer uses a high speed digital PLL chip. It is difficult to divide directly by using a program counter of PLL chip because the output frequency of VCO is 10 GHz ${\sim}$ 11 GHz, so we lower the frequency to 625 MHz ${\sim}$ 687.5 MHz by using a prescaler, and then divide the frequency by the program counter. The output frequency sweep of VCO from 10 GHz to 11 GHz is measured.

This paper presents an 125MHz, 128-phase phase-locked loop using interpolation technique for digital timing recovery. To reduce the power consumption and chip area, phase interpolation was performed over only selected windows, instead of overall period. Four clocks were used for phase interpolation to avoid the output jitter increase due to the interpolation clock (clock used for phase interpolation) switching. Also, the output clock was fed back to finite-state machine (FSM) where the multiplexer selection signals are generated to eliminate the possible output glitches. The PLL implemented in a $0.25\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process and dissipates 80mW at 2.5V supply and occupies $0.84\textrm{mm}^2.

In the proposed spectrum analyzer, open-loop VCO is replaced with PLL synthesizer incorporating digital frequency synthesizer using modulofunction for measuring precise frequencys. Three different frequency bands and channel spacings are realized by single loop synthesizer through the effective design of the system. The newly designed system with square detection has a good linearity of input range from 10mV to 8.5V, as a result the input sensitivity has been improved up to 500uV. The storage function enables us to analyze not only periodic but also nonperiodic wave-form and zoom-in function expands frequency resolution eight times for the dense spectra.

In this paper, to draw out the parameter of synchronization for ADSL(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) chip design, we analyze the performance of STR(Symbol Timing Recovery) and frame synchronization with computer simulation. We analyze and design PLL(Phase Lock Loop) loop for ADSL. As a result, we obtained the optimum parameter of STR to design ADSL chip. Also, when performed frame synchronization with several algorithm, we analyzed the performance of FER(Frame Error Rate) and the effect of frame offset with computer simulation.

A 5-phase phase-locked loop (PLL) for USB2.0 applications was implemented by using an all-synthesis technique. The length of the time-to-digital converter for the fine phase detector was halved by the operation of a coarse phase detector that uses 5-phase clocks. The maximum time difference between the rising edges of two adjacent-phase clocks was 6 ps at 480 MHz. The PLL chip in a 65-nm process occupies $0.038mm^2$, consumes 4.8 mW at 1.2 V. The measured rms and peak-to-peak output jitters are 8.6 ps and 45 ps, respectively.

An analog/digital mixed mode ASIC for network synchronization of ATM switching system has been designed and fabricated. This ASIC generates a 234.7/46.94 ㎒ system clock and 77.76/19.44 ㎒ user clock using 46.94 ㎒ transmitted clocks from other systems. It also includes digital circuits for checking and selecting of the transmitted clocks. For effective ASIC design, full custom technique is used in 2 analog PLL circuits design, and standard cell based technique is used in digital circuit design. Resistors and capacitors for analog circuits are specially designed which can be fabricated in general CMOS technology, so the chip can be implemented in 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ digital CMOS technology with no expensive. Testing results show stable 234.7 ㎒ and 19.44 ㎒ clocks generation with each 4㎰ and 17㎰ of low ms jitter.
