We present a wideband low-jitter LC-VCO phase-locked loop in 130 nm CMOS technology for high speed serial link applications. The PLL covers a 5.6 GHz to 13.4 GHz frequency range by using two LC-VCO cores with an RMS jitter of 370 fs. The single event effects testing is performed with a neutron beam at Los Alamos National Laboratory and no frequency disturbance is found over the test period. The PLL consumes 50.88 mW of power under a 1.2 V power supply.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
