The proposed Butterworth DLLs can suppress both the jitters generated by the input noise and the voltage-controlled delay line (VCDL) noise without stability considerations. Theoretically, the proposed Butterworth 2/sup nd/-order DLL and 3/sup rd/-order one could reduce the rms jitter due to the VCDL by a factor of /spl radic/2 and 2, respectively. In addition, a technique called dynamic bandwidth-adjusting scheme (DBAS) is adopted to shorten the lock time without compromising the jitter performance. The conventional DLL and the proposed ones are simultaneously fabricated at the same die in a CMOS 0.35-um one-poly four-metal process. Compared with the conventional DLL, the measured rms jitters of the proposed DLLs can be improved by a factor of 1.40 and 1.95, respectively, with an input frequency of 125 MHz. The maximum power consumption of the proposed DLLs is 32 mW.","PeriodicalId":270304,"journal":{"name":"2003 Symposium on VLSI Circuits. Digest of Technical Papers (IEEE Cat.

The phase shifter in the quadrature demodulator is tuned dynamically to deal with carrier-frequency drift. A gm cell in the filters uses depletion-mode PMOS transistors and has a folded structure.
