演講摘要:

A phase locked loop (PLL) that uses a digital control loop is becoming a popular architecture 
for frequency synthesis, typically known as digital PLL or all-digital PLL. The mostly digital nature 
of such PLL design allows new digital signal processing (DSP) opportunities. In this talk, 
I will first overview the recent trend of digital PLL design and its design principles. Next, I will 
describe several emerging techniques applied in this mostly digital architecture to further enhance 
its performance and robustness. Specifically, one key design objective of a frequency synthesizer is 
to minimize the spurious tones, as they can degrade the overall jitter performance or cause other 
unwanted system-level impairments. We will examine the sources of the spurious tone generation 
and different means to mitigate them. Lastly, we will go over several real PLL design examples that 
demonstrate low-spur performances.
