High Speed Wide Range PLL on GLOBALFOUNDRIES 65G

The high speed wide range PLL addresses markets and applications that demand very low power and optimized for area efficiencies. In addition, consumer devices have restrictions on supply voltage due to battery restrictions or board restrictions. The PLLs also needs to be designed on standard digital logic processes and expected to work in noisy SoC environments.

The PLL macro is implemented in Analog Bits’ proprietary architecture that uses core and 2.5V IO devices.

The PLL resides inside the IO ring of two analog power supply pads, occupying no core area. In order to minimize noise coupling and maximize ease of use, the PLL incorporates a proprietary ESD structure, which is proven in several generations of processes. Eliminating band-gaps and integrating all on-chip components such as capacitors and ESD structures, helps the jitter performance significantly and reduces stand-by power.

The PLL macro fits into any standard IO pad pitch and is available for both staggered and in-line IOs.
