25MHz to 4.0GHz Fractional-N RC PLL Synthesizer on TSMC 3nm N3P

Overview

Fractional-N Phase locked loop frequency synthesizer is intended for ASIC clock generation. The Fractional-N PLL loop with 2GHz-4GHz VCO has high phase noise performance and ultra-fine frequency tuning step.

VCO Sub-band auto select (SAS) system allows to find automatically appropriate sub-band for VCO on locked PLL.

The block embeds reference current sources.

Silicon area: 0.01254mm2 (108um x 115um)
