A fast-lock multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL)-based digital clock frequency multiplier with an anti-harmonic lock capability is presented. The proposed digital frequency multiplier utilizes a new most-significant bit (MSB)-interval search algorithm to achieve fast-locking time without harmonic lock problems. The proposed digital MDLL frequency multiplier is designed in a 65nm CMOS process, and the operating output frequency range is from 1 GHz to 3 GHz. The digital MDLL provides a programmable fractional-ratio frequency multiplication ratios of N/M, where N = 1, 4, 5, 8, 10 and M = 1, 2, 3, respectively. The proposed MDLL consumes 3.52 mW at 1GHz and achieves a peak-to-peak (p-p) output clock jitter of 14.07 ps.

In this paper, we propose an implementation and an algorithm of 'Jitter and Glitch Removing Circuit' for UHF RFID reader system based on ISO/IEC 18000-6C standard. We analyze the response of TI(Texas Instrument) Gen2 tag with a reader using the proposed algorithm. In ISO/IEC 18000-6C standard, a bit rate accuracy(tolerance) is up to +/-22% during tag-to-interrogator communication and +/-1% during interrogator-to-tag communication. In order to solve tolerance problems, we implement the Jitter and Glitch Removing Circuit using the concept of tolerance and tolerance-accumulation instead of PLL(DPLL, ADPLL). The main clock is 19.2MHz and the LF(Link Frequency) is determined as 40kHz to meet the local radio regulation in korea. As a result of simulations, the error-rate is zero within 15% tolerance of tag responses. And in the case of using the adaptive LF generation circuit, the error-rate varies from 0.000589 to zero between 15% and 22% tolerance of tag responses. In conclusion, the error-rate is zero between 0%-22% tolerance of tag response specified in ISO/IEC 18000-6C standard.

This paper presents a 15-GHz multiphase rotary traveling-wave voltage-controlled oscillator (RTW VCO) where a shielded coplanar stripline (CPS) is exploited to provide better shielding protection and lower phase noise at a moderate cost of characteristic impedance and power consumption. Test chips were implemented in a standard 90-nm CMOS process, demonstrating the measured results of 2-GHz frequency tuning range, -11.3-dBm output power, -109.6-dBc/Hz phase noise at 1-MHz offset, and 2-ps RMS clock jitter at 15 GHz. The chip core occupies the area of $0.2mm^2$ and dissipates 12 mW from a single 1.2-V supply.

This paper describes a 2.5V, 320MHz low-noise and low-power Phase Locked Loop(PLL) using a noise-rejected Voltage Controlled ring Oscillator(VCO) fabricated in a TSMC 0.25um CMOS technology. In order to improve the power consumption and oscillation frequency of the PLL, The VCO consist of three-stage fully differential delay cells that can obtain the characteristic of high speed, low power and low phase noise. The VCO operates at 7MHz -670MHz. The oscillator consumes l.58mA from a 320MHz frequency and 2.5V supply. When the PLL with fully-differential ring VCO is locked 320MHz, the jitter and phase noise measured 26ps (rms), 157ps (p-p) and -97.09dB at 100kHz offset. We introduce and analysis the conditions in which ring VCO can oscillate for low-power operation.

This paper describes a new phase-difference detection method and the associate process algorithm for calculating the mean value of phase difference detected and OVCXO control value and for monitoring and controlling the DP-PLL operation status to be used in the design of a high-frequency DP-PLL. Through the experiments of DP-PLL implemented with 16-bit processor, memories, pheriperals and OVCXO to eraluate the suggested method and algorithm, it is shown that a remarkable improvement in PLL function such as phase detection, and reference clock tracing capability, jitter absorbability and frequency stability compared with other existing DP-PLL synchronization device is achieved.

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is described which is operable from 0.4 GHz to 1.2 GHz. The PLL has basically the same architecture as the conventional analog PLL except the locking information is stored as digital code. An analog-to-digital converter is embedded in the PLL, converting the analog loop filter output to digital code. Because the locking information is stored as digital code, the PLL can be turned off during power-down mode while avoiding long wake-up time. The PLL implemented in a 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process occupies 0.35 $mm^2$ active area. From a 1.8 V supply, it consumes 59 mW and 984 ${\mu}W$ during the normal and power-down modes, respectively. The measured rms jitter of the output clock is 16.8 ps at 1.2 GHz.

In this paper, a systematic and statistical calibration technique was implemented to calibrate a high-speed signal converting system containing multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The systematic error (especially the imbalance between DACs) in the current combining network of the multi-DAC system was modeled and corrected by calculating the path coefficients for individual DACs with wideband reference signals. Furthermore, by applying a Kalman filter to suppress noise from quantization and clock jitter, accurate coefficients with minimum noise were identified. For correcting an arbitrary waveform generator with two DACs, a co-simulation platform was implemented to estimate the system degradation and its corrected performance. Simulation results showed that after correction with 4.8 Gbps QAM signal, the signal-to-noise-ratio improved by approximately 4.5 dB and the error-vector-magnitude improved from 4.1% to 1.12% over 0.96 GHz bandwidth.

Real-time control communication network system is important for developing defense robots because it affects environmental interaction, performance, and safety. We propose a real-time control communication network using the Xenomai real-time operating system and the open-source EtherCAT master library, SOEM. EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based industrial communication method. It has low latency and many functions such as cable redundancy and distributed clock synchronization. We use Xenomai RTOS and Intel NUC to develop the system. Experimental tests demonstrate the Real-time EtherCAT master implementation, and communication with CiA301-based slave devices. The jitter measurement was conducted to validate the real-time performance of the system. The proposed system shows possibility for real-time robotics applications in various defense robots.
