2 Why Switch to MEMS-based Programmable Oscillators? uartz Oscillators MEMS-based Oscillator source: A part for each frequency and non-plastic packaging - Non-typical frequencies require long lead times Same part for all frequencies and plastic packaging - Pick any frequency you want without extra lead time We can achieve high volumes at low cost using IC fabrication
3 Architecture of MEMS-Based Programmable Oscillator 5 MHz MHz to 5 MHz Oscillator Sustaining Circuit and Charge Pump Fractional-N Synthesizer Programmable Frequency Divider Continuously Programmable MEMS Resonator Digital Frequency Setting MEMS device provides high resonance at 5 MHz - CMOS circuits provide DC bias and sustaining amplifier Fractional-N synthesizer multiplies 5 MHz MEMS reference to a programmable range of 750 to 900 MHz Programmable frequency divider enables to 5 MHz output 3
4 Compensation of Temperature Variation Freq Error (ppm) Freq Error (ppm) Temp 5 MHz MHz Temp Oscillator Sustaining Circuit and Charge Pump MEMS Resonator Fractional-N Synthesizer Programmable Frequency Divider Freq Compensation (ppm) Temp Continuously Programmable to 5 MHz Temperature Sensor Digital Logic Digital Frequency Setting High resolution control of fractional-n synthesizer allows simple method of compensating for MEMS frequency variation with temperature - Simply add temperature sensor and digital compensation logic 4
5 The Focus of This Talk Freq Error (ppm) Freq Error (ppm) Temp 5 MHz MHz Temp Oscillator Sustaining Circuit and Charge Pump MEMS Resonator Fractional-N Synthesizer Programmable Frequency Divider Freq Compensation (ppm) Temp Continuously Programmable to 5 MHz Temperature Sensor Digital Logic Digital Frequency Setting How do we achieve a fractional-n synthesizer with low area, low power, and low design complexity? 5
6 Analog Versus Digital Fractional-N Synthesizer? ref(t) div(t) reset D D Reg up(t) down(t) v tune (t) R C C Analog PLL + Low power - Large loop filter (Dominated by C ) Divider Digital PLL + Smaller loop filter - Difficult in 0.8 CMOS (Higher power) ref(t) div(t) Time-to-Digital Converter Digital Loop Filter Divider DCO out(t) Analog PLL wins in 0.8u CMOS for low power Can we achieve a low area (and low power) analog PLL with reduced design effort? 6
7 The Issue of Area: What Causes a Large Loop Filter? ref(t) div(t) reset D D Reg up(t) down(t) I noise v tune (t) R C C Output Phase Noise Charge Pump Noise VCO Noise f Divider Loop filter noise (primarily from charge pump) often dominates PLL phase noise at low offset frequencies We will show that - The common approach of reducing loop filter noise leads to increased loop filter area (i.e., C for charge pump PLL) - We can instead increase PD gain to lower the impact of loop filter noise Loop filter area can be smaller 7
8 First Step: Model PLL with Charge Pump Noise ref(t) div(t) reset D D Reg up(t) down(t) Divider I noise v tune (t) R C C Output Phase Noise Charge Pump Noise VCO Noise f ref (t) div (t) error (t) PFD PD Gain Charge Pump I pump I noise Divider N nom RC Network Z(s) C VCO Kv s out (t) 8
9 Increasing I pump Reduces Input-Referred Loop Filter Noise ref (t) LF noise I pump div (t) PD Gain LF noise Divider N nom I noise PFD Loop Filter VCO I pump C I pump Z(s) I pump Kv s out (t) Output Phase Noise Loop Filter Noise VCO Noise f ref (t) div (t) error (t) PFD PD Gain Charge Pump I pump I noise Divider N nom RC Network Z(s) C VCO Kv s out (t) Area gets larger since C is typically increased as well to maintain desired open loop gain 9
10 Increasing PD Gain Reduces Impact of Loop Filter Noise ref (t) div (t) PFD PD Gain LF noise Divider Loop Filter I pump C I pump Z(s) PD Gain VCO Kv s out (t) Output Phase Noise Loop Filter Noise VCO Noise f N nom PD Gain I pump PD Gain Impact of Loop Filter Noise on Output Keep Open Loop Gain Constant LF noise N nom PD Gain Loop filter area does not need to become larger But how do we increase the PD gain? PD Gain 0
11 PD Gain of Classical Tristate PFD Div(t) reset D D Reg I pump I pump RC Network Phase Detector Characteristic avg{-} Div(t) PD Gain = - - error Compute gain by averaging Up/Down pulses vs. phase error - Note that tristate PFD has a phase error range of Ref periods
12 Proposed Method of Increasing Phase Detector Gain avg{ - } PD Gain = 8 - /8 /8 - error Div(t) PD Gain = avg{ - } Reduce phase detection range to /4 of the Ref period - Achieves 8X increase in phase detector gain How do we capitalize on this reduced range in the filter? - - error
13 Simple RC Network Can Be Utilized avg{v c (t)} PD Gain = 8 - /8 /8 - error See also: Hedayati, Bakkaloglu RFIC 009 Div(t) High Gain PD Achieves full voltage range at V c as phase error is swept across the reduced phase detector range Note: instead of being influenced by charge pump gain after the PD, we are influenced by (regulated) supply voltage - R C V c (t) 3
14 Implementation of High Gain Phase Detector Delay Buffer For Non-Overlapping Up/Down Pulses D D D D D T ref Phase Detector Characteristic avg{ - } error T div Use 4X higher divider frequency - Simple digital implementation PD Gain = - T div T ref T ref T div = 8 4
15 Multi-Phase Pulse Generation (We ll Use it Later ) Mid(t) D D D D D Short Pulse Generator Last(t) T ref Phase Detector Characteristic avg{ - } error Mid(t) Last(t) T div PD Gain = - T div T ref T ref 8 = T div 5
16 Overall Loop Filter Consider Using Charge Pump High Gain PD See also: Craninckx, JSSC, Dec 998 V dd Gnd I pump I pump R C V tune (t) (Low K v ) V tune (t) (High K v ) C ref (t) div (t) PD Gain 8 PD Gain Supply Gain V dd Charge Pump I pump H(w) RC Network +sr _eff C Integration Cap sc We can use the high gain PD in a dual-path loop filter topology - But we want a simple design! w z w Can we remove the charge pump to reduce the analog design effort? 6
17 Passive RC Network Offers a Simpler Implementation High Gain Phase Detector Regulated V dd R V c (t) R R 3 C C C f C 3 V tune (t) Gnd DC Gain = H(w) C f Capacitive feedforward path provides stabilizing zero Design effort is simply choosing switch sizes and RC values w z C f +C 3 w 7
18 The Issue of Reference Spurs High Gain Phase Detector Regulated V dd R V c (t) R R 3 C C C f C 3 V tune (t) Gnd V c (t) V tune (t) Ripple from Up/Down pulses passes through to VCO tuning input Is there an easy way to reduce reference spurs? 8
19 Leverage Multi-Phase Pulsing Mid(t) Last(t) High Gain Phase Detector Regulated V dd R 3 / R 3 / R V c (t) R / R / C f C C C 3 V tune (t) Gnd V c (t) Ripple from Up/Down pulses blocked before reaching VCO - Reference spurs reduced! - Similar to sample-and-hold technique (such as Zhang et. al., JSSC, 003) Mid(t) Last(t) V tune (t) There is a nice side benefit to pulsing resistors 9
20 Pulsing Resistor Multiplies Resistance! T on T period Pulse_On(t) T period R _eff = R R/ R/ T on Resistor only passes current when pulsed on - Average current through resistance is reduced according to ratio of On time, T on, versus pulsing Period, T period - Effective resistance is actual resistance multiplied by ratio T period /T on Resistor multiplication allows a large RC time constant to be implemented with smaller area 0
21 Parasitic Capacitance Reduces Effective Resistance T on T period Pulse_On(t) < T period R _eff R R/4 R/4 R/4 R/4 T on C p C p C p C p C p C p Parasitic capacitance stores charge during the pulse On time - Leads to non-zero current through resistor during pulse Off time - Effective resistance reduced Spice simulation and measured results reveal that >0X resistor multiplication can easily be achieved
22 Switched Resistor Achieves PLL Zero with Low Area Regulated V dd Gnd R V c (t) Mid(t) R / R / R 3 / R 3 / C f C C C f For robust stability, PLL zero should be set well below PLL bandwidth of 30 khz - Assume desired w z = 4 khz - Set C f =.5pF (for low area) - Required R 3_eff = 6 MegaOhms Large area Last(t) H(w) C 3 V tune (t) w z = R 3_eff C f w z T period T on C f C f +C 3 w Proper choice of T on and T period allows R 3_eff = 6 MegaOhms to be achieved with R 3 = 500 kohms!
23 The Issue of Initial Frequency Acquisition Regulated V dd R 3_eff = 6MegaOhms R V c (t) Gnd R / R / V tune (t) C f C C C f C 3 = 35pF During initial frequency acquisition, V tune (t) must be charged to proper bias point - This takes too long with R 3_eff = 6 MegaOhms How do we quickly charge capacitor C 3 during initial frequency acquisition? 3
24 Utilize Switched Capacitor Charging Technique Gnd Regulated V dd R 3 / R 3 / R V c (t) R / R / C f C C C f Counter Count > 4 Charge Low Count < 4 Charge High Connect V tune (t) C 3 C c V dd Gnd Count T div_4x T ref Charge Low(t) Charge High(t) Connect(t) Charge C 3 high or low only when frequency error is detected - No steady-state noise penalty, minimal power consumption 4
25 CppSim Behavioral Simulation of Frequency Locking 0.5 vtune 0 charge_high 0 charge_low Time (microseconds) Switched capacitor technique allows relatively fast frequency locking 5
26 CMOS and MEMS Die Photos Show Low Area of PLL Active area: - VCO & buffer & bias: 0.5mm - PLL (PFD, Loop Filter, divider): 0.09 mm - Output divider: 0.0 mm External supply -.8/3.3V Current (0 MHz output, no load) - ALL: 3./3.7mA - VCO:.3mA - PLL & Output Divider: 0.7mA 6
27 Measured Phase Noise (00 MHz output) Ref. Spur: -65 dbc -90 dbc/hz -40 dbc/hz Integrated Phase Noise: 7 ps (rms) from khz to 40 MHz 00 Hz 30 khz 40 MHz Suitable for most serial applications, embedded systems and FPGAs, audio, USB. and.0, cameras, TVs, etc. 7
28 Frequency Variation After Single-Temperature Calibration Frequency Variation (PPM) Parts Temperature (degc) < 30 ppm across industrial temperature range with single-temperature calibration 8
29 Conclusion A MEMS-based programmable oscillator provides an efficient solution for industrial clocking needs - Programmability of frequency value simplifies supply chain and inventory management - Leveraging of semiconductor processing, rather than custom tools for quartz, allows low cost and low lead times Proposed fractional-n synthesizer allows low area, low power, and reduced analog design effort - High gain phase detector lowers impact of loop filter noise - Switched resistor technique eliminates the charge pump and reduces area through resistor multiplication - Switched capacitor frequency detection enables reasonable frequency acquisition time with no noise penalty Frequency references have entered the realm of integrated circuit design and manufacturing 9

32 Issue: Nonlinearity in Switched Resistor Loop Filter Phase Detector & Pulse Gen Up Down V dd R R / V c C Gnd Up Down T on T hold T period Nonlinearity is caused by - Exponential response of RC filter to pulse width modulation - Variation of T hold due to Sigma-Delta dithering of divide value Note: to avoid additional V c V c [k-] V c [k] V c [k+] nonlinearity, design divide value control logic to keep T on a constant value 3
33 Nonlinearity Due to Pulse Width Modulation Up Phase Detector & Pulse Gen Up V dd Down Gnd R R / V c C Pulse width modulation nonlinearity is reduced as ratio ΔT/(R C ) is reduced - If ΔT/(R C ) is small: Down V c V c [k-] T hold T on T on /+ΔT T on /-ΔT V c [k] Keep T on constant to avoid increased nonlinearity! 33
34 Nonlinearity Due to Hold Time Variation Phase Detector & Pulse Gen Up Down V dd R R / V c C Up Down V c V c [k-] Gnd T hold T on Hold time nonlinearity is reduced as changes in T hold (due to divide value dithering) are reduced - Reduce order of MASH Σ Δ Benefits are offset by reduced noise shaping of V c [k] lower order Sigma-Delta - Reduce step size of MASH Σ Δ Achieved with higher VCO frequency 34
35 Nonlinearity Is Not An Issue For This Design Folded Sigma-Delta uant Noise Other PLL Noise Sources Phase noise referred to VCO carrier frequency Folded quantization noise due to nonlinearity is reasonably below other noise sources for this design - However, could be an issue for a wide bandwidth PLL design Use (CppSim) behavioral simulation to evaluate this issue 35
36 What If We Use A Pure Charge Pump Loop Filter? I pump Div(t) High Gain PD I pump RC Network Phase Detector Characteristic avg{-} - PD Gain = - PD Gain increased by compared to tristate PFD - Reduced phase error range and max/min current occurs High linearity despite charge pump current mismatch - Similar to XOR PD, but noise is reduced error 36
