  • Abstract
    A low-spur sub-sampling PLL exploits an amplitude-controlled charge pump which is immune to current source mismatch. A DLL/PLL dual-loop architecture and buffering reduces the disturbance of the sampler to the VCO. The 2.2GHz PLL in 0.18¿m CMOS achieves -121dBc/Hz in-band phase noise at 200kHz and consumes 3.8mW. The worst-case reference spur measured on 20 samples is -80dBc.
