Abstract

In this paper, a small area spread-spectrum clock generator (SSCG) with high EMI reduction for SATA-3.0 is presented. Conventional methods use inductor-capacitance (LC) tank to fulfill the high frequency requirement for SATA-3.0. However, the monolithic inductors always occupy a large area, and required precisely characteristic for different fabrication processes. This research propose a SSCG using a ring voltage-controlled oscillators (Ring-VCO) at 6GHz operating frequency; By using the proposed Ring-VCO, the active area of SSCG is 65% of comparable LC tank implementations, and Ring-VCO is much easier to characterized for any CMOS process. In addition, a multi-stage-noise-shaping (MASH) delta-sigma modulator (ΔΣ modulator) is used to reduce fractional spurs and quantization error for high EMI reduction. The chip is designed in TSMC 0.18um 1P6M CMOS process with active area of 500um×300um, and the simulation results consumes 60.43mW with 1.8V supply. The peak-to-peak jitter at 6GHz output of non spread-spectrum is 6.16ps, and the EMI reduction is 22.49dB with 5000ppm down spread to 5.97GHz.
一个小面积完全集成扩频时钟发生器,具有高emi降低,适用于SATA-3.0应用
本文提出了一种适用于SATA-3.0的小面积扩频时钟发生器(SSCG)。传统方法采用电感-电容(LC)槽来满足SATA-3.0的高频要求。然而,单片电感总是占用较大的面积,并要求精确的特性,为不同的制造工艺。本研究提出了一种使用环形压控振荡器(ring - vco)的SSCG,工作频率为6GHz;通过使用Ring-VCO, SSCG的有效面积是LC槽实现的65%,并且Ring-VCO更容易用于任何CMOS工艺的表征。此外,多级噪声整形(MASH) delta-sigma调制器(ΔΣ调制器)用于减少分数杂散和量化误差,从而实现高EMI降低。该芯片采用台积电0.18um 1P6M CMOS工艺设计,有源面积为500um×300um,仿真结果显示在1.8V电源下功耗为60.43mW。非扩频6GHz输出的峰对峰抖动为6.16ps,当5000ppm降频至5.97GHz时,EMI降低22.49dB。
