摘要

This paper presents a Linear Phase Frequency Detector architecture (LPFD) and a Non-Linear Phase Frequency Detector (NLPFD) architecture. The proposed linear and nonlinear PFDs are free from the dead zone, blind zone, and glitches while maintaining a 360-degree detection range. The proposed Transmission Gate Voltage Divider Linear Phase Frequency Detector (TGVD-LPFD) is the best choice to provide better phase noise and reference spur for the PLL. However, the proposed transmission gate non-linear phase frequency detector (TG-NLPFD) is a better choice to have a faster locking PLL while maintaining all other better parameters. Phase-locked loop (PLL) has been implemented in a 180 nm CMOS process using these proposed linear and nonlinear PFD architectures and obtained a PLL with 2.72 GHz output frequency. A PLL built with a linear PFD has been found to offer a reference spur of \(-\) - 77.3 dBc and a lock time of 2.5 µs, which has been verified by modeling the PLL in the sdomain. The PLL built using non-linear PFD has been found to offer a reference spur of \(-\) - 74.5 dBc and a lock time of 2.3 µs, which has been verified by modeling the PLL in the state space analysis.
