Distributed Pulse Rotary Traveling Wave VCO: Architecture and Design
2019 IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI)(2019)
摘要
This paper describes the architecture and design of pulse rotary traveling wave voltage controlled oscillators that preserve wave shape, and thus wave harmonics using non-linear amplification. These oscillators can provide multiple low dutycycle clock phases and architectural modifications can allow for the same clock phase to be present at multiple physical locations. A design fabricated in GFUS 130nm (8RF) technology operates at 5.32 GHz with a 10 MHz offset phase noise of -128.15 dBc/Hz at 45.4 mW while generating 12 driven phase outputs with 15.66 ps phase resolution and less than 500 fs cycle-to-cycle jitter. It can be coarse or fine tuned within a frequency range of 4.35 GHz to 5.4 GHz with KV CO of 1.7 GHz/V and 470 MHz/V respectively. The start-up mechanism of the oscillator minimizes transmission line reflections and allows maintenance of the traveling wave shape, yielding an average 3 dB figure of merit improvement over existing designs.
