Abstract
Mobile SoC designs demand a low-power clocking system to maximize battery life. The host PLL is critical since it must remain enabled to support always-on, always-connected operation. In addition, the host PLL should offer wide frequency range, low area, flexible bandwidth, scalability to future manufacturing processes, negligible lock time compared to the power-state-cycling time, and acceptable period jitter for clocking digital logic.
