IPC Code(s): H03L7/089, H02M3/07
CPC Code(s): H03L7/0893
Abstract: in a charge pump-based pll circuit, charge pump output current variation may cause phase instability at an output of a vco. the output current variation may be caused by low-frequency disturbances (e.g., tuning voltage (vtune) drift with channel length modulation effect), disturbance in a gate bias voltage of a transistor, or a vdd transient. such a low-frequency disturbance may occur during initial lock, which may affect phase settling time, or after lock, which may result in phase instability. a replica charge pump and a current filtering and compensation circuit may be implemented at the output of a main charge pump to provide error current compensation to suppress channel length modulation effect, improve phase stability, and reduce phase noise.
