Overview
The ANLBPLL0100 is an integer-N PLL for frequency synthesis that can be used to create a low phase-noise local oscillator (LO) for applications operating in the L band (1 GHz – 2 GHz). The low phase noise results in ultra-low clock jitter for applications which require it. The frequency synthesizer consists of a clock receiver, phase-frequency detector, low-noise charge pump, active loop filter utilizing on-die and off-die components, multi-band LC VCO, and an LO output buffer. The frequency synthesizer uses a 9-bit programmable divider to support integer multiplication factors from 100 to 511.

System Verilog Assertions (SVA) integrate well with UVM testbenches and make verification easier and more accurate. Steps can be taken to reduce coding overhead and allow for greater flexibility for reuse. While not all requirements are ideal for assertions, this paper aims to explain that, when used correctly, SVA can save time and increase design accuracy.
