4-GHz Jitter-optimized low-power digital PLL

Overview

Perceptia’s DeepSub pPLL03 series PLLs are low-cost low-power low-jitter PLLs, for foundry processes from 28 to 180-nm. They are typically used together with the companion IPs pREG01 regulator and pDIV post-scaler. pPLL03 is currently in silicon in the Silterra 180G, ON Semi 180, GlobalFoundries 65LPe, and TSMC 65LP processes.
