Abstract

A wide-range phase-locked loop incorporating a range-programmable voltage-controlled oscillator was developed for clock generation without an additional frequency synthesizer. Breaking down the original inverter into several smaller ones and re-combining them paralleled could extend the output frequency range effectively, and operate more efficiently. Using TSMC 1P3M 0.6 μm CMOS technology, the proposed phase-locked loop at a supply voltage of 3.3 V was measured with output signals of 184 MHz to 1.04 GHz at power dissipation ranging from 8.24 mW to 32.13 mW
