This paper presents a new dual loop control using novel vector phase locked loop(VP-PLL) for a high power static var compensator(SVC) with three-level GTO voltage source inverter(VSI). Through circuit DQ-transformation, a simple dq-axis equivalent circuit is obtained. From this, DC analysis is carried out to obtain maximum controllable phase angle ${\alpha}_{max}$ per unit current between the three phase source and the switching function of inverter, and AC open-loop transfer function is given. Because ${\alpha}_{max}$ becomes small in high power SVC, this paper proposes VP-PLL for more accurate $\alpha$-control. As a result, the overall control loop has dual loop structure, which consists of inner VP-PLL for synchronizing the phase angle with source and outer Q-loop for compensating reactive power of load. Finally, the validity of the proposed control method is verified through the experimental results.

PLLs have been widely used for many applications including communication systems. This paper presents a VCO with an improved negative skewed delay scheme and a PLL using this VCO. The proposed VCO and PLL are intended for replacing traditional LC oscillators and PLLs used in communication systems and other applications. The circuit designs of the VCO and PLL are based on 0.18um CMOS technology with 1.8V supply voltage. The proposed VCO employs subfeedback loops using pass-transistors and needs two opposite control voltages for the pass transistors. The subfeedback loops speed up oscillation depending on the control voltages and thus provide a high oscillation frequency. The two voltage controls have opposite frequency gain characteristics and result in low phase-noise. The 7-stage VCO in 0.18um CMOS technology operates from $3.2GHz\~6.3GHz$ with phase noise of about -128.8 dBc/Hz at 1MHz frequency onset. For 1.8V supply voltage, the current consumption is about 3.8mA. The proposed PLL has dual loop-filters for the proposed VCO. The PLL is operated at 5GHz with 1.8V supply voltage. These results indicate that the proposed VCO can be used for radio frequency operations replacing LC oscillators. The circuits have been designed and simulated using 0.18um TSMC library.

In this paper, we propose a phase-locked loop (PLL) with dual loops in which advantages of both loops can be combined. Frequency-locked loop (FLL) which is composed of two frequency-to-voltage converters (FVC) and an amplifier makes the frequency synchronize very fast and output signal is synchronized in phase with the input reference signal by charge pump PLL. This structure can improve the trade-off between acquisition behavior and locked behavior.

A 300MHz PLL including FVC (frequency to voltage converter) is designed and fabricated in 0.8$\mu$m CMOS process. In this design, a FVC and a 2nd - order passive filter are added to the conventional charge-pump PLL to improve the acquisition time. The dual-rijng VCO(voltage controlled oscillator) realized in this paper has a frequency range form 208 to 320MHz. Integrated circuits have been fully tested and analyzed in detail and it is proved that pull-in speed is enhanced with the use fo FVC. In VCO range from 230MHz to 310MHz, experimental results show that realized PLL exhibits 4 times faster pull-in speed than that of conventional PLL.

This paper presents a secondary-side, dual-mode feedback LLC resonant controller IC with dynamic PWM dimming for LED backlight units. In order to reduce the cost, master and slave outputs can be generated simultaneously with a single LLC resonant core based on dual-mode feedback topologies. Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) schemes are used for the master stage and slave stage, respectively. In order to guarantee the correct dual feedback operation, Phased-Locked Loop (PLL)-based automatic duty control circuit is proposed in this paper. The chip is fabricated using $0.35{\mu}m$ Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology, and the die size is $2.5mm{\times}2.5mm$. The frequency of the gate driver (GDA/GDB) in the clock generator ranges from 50 to 425 kHz. The current consumption of the LLC resonant controller IC is 40 mA for a 100 kHz operation frequency using a 15 V supply. The duty ratio of the slave stage can be controlled from 40% to 60% independent of the frequency of the master stage.

Also, this DPLL has VCO circuitry consisting of digitally controlled V-I converter and current-control oscillator (CCO) for robust jitter characteristics and wide lock range. The chip is fabricated with Dongbu HiTek $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Its operation range has the wide operation range of 0.4-2GHz and the area of $0.18mm^2$. It shows the peak-to-peak period jitter of 2 psec under no power noise and the power dissipation of 18mW at 2GHz through HSPICE simulation.

This paper describes a CMOS IF PLL frequency synthesizer. The designed frequency synthesizer can be programmed to operate at various intermediate frequencies using different external LC-tanks. The VCO with automatic amplitude control provides constant output power independent of the Q-factor of the external LC-tank. The designed frequency divider includes an 8/9 or 16/17 dual-modulus prescaler and can be programmed to operate at different frequencies by external serial data for various applications. The designed circuit is fabricated using a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well CMOS process. Measurement results show that the phase noise is 114dBc/Hz@100kHz and the lock time is less than 300$mutextrm{s}$. It consumes 16mW from 3V supply. The die area is 730${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$950${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

Phase locked loops are widely used in many applications such as frequency synthesis, clock/data recovery and clock generation. In nearly all the PLL applications, low jitter and fast locking time is required. Without using adaptive loop filter, this paper proposes very simple method for improving locking time and jitter reduction simultaneously in charge pump PLL(CPPLL) using Daul Phase/Frequency Detector(Dual PFD). Based on the proposed scheme, the lock time is improved by 23.1％, and the jitter is reduced by 45.2％ compared with typical CPPLL.
