Description
Technical field
The invention relates to the phase-locked loop, particularly eliminate mark-N phase-locked loop (the digital fractional-N phase lock loop) of function about having phase noise.
Background technology
General digital phase locked loop (Digital Phase Lock Loop, Digital PLL) receives the reference clock with first frequency, and correspondingly produces the output clock with second frequency.Wherein, output clock is that phase place locks (Phase-locked) in the phase place of reference clock, and the second frequency of output clock is higher than first frequency N doubly.Shown in Figure 1A, typical digital phase locked loop 100A includes time-to-digital converter (Time-to-digital converter, TDC) 110, digital loop filter (Digital loop filter) 120, numerically-controlled oscillator DCO (digitally controlledoscillator) 130 and removes N circuit (divide-by-Ncircuit) 140A.Time-to-digital converter (TDC) 110 has the reference clock REF of first frequency in order to measurement and has time difference between the feedback clock FB of the 3rd frequency, and correspondingly produces a time difference signal TD of this time difference of expression.Loop filter 120 is in order to filtering this time difference signal TD (can be digital signal), and generation handle C.Numerically-controlled oscillator 130 produces the output clock OUT with second frequency according to handle.Except N circuit 140A will have the output clock OUT of second frequency divided by a divider value (divisor) N, the feedback clock FB that has the 3rd frequency with generation.Should be noted that this second frequency (be the frequency of output clock OUT, and be the frequency of oscillation of numerically-controlled oscillator 130 simultaneously) is controlled by the numerical value of handle C.One embodiment, the frequency of output clock OUT (be second frequency, also be the frequency of oscillation of numerically-controlled oscillator 130) is that the numerical value according to handle increases (minimizing) and increases (minimizing).And since except N circuit 140A except the N function, the frequency of this second frequency will be higher than the 3rd frequency N doubly.When handle C too little (too large), second frequency also can too low (too high); And correspondingly, the 3rd frequency also can too low (too high).Mode according to this, feedback clock FB is slow (too fast) too, and therefore fall behind (in advance) reference clock REF.As a result, causing time difference signal TD is on the occasion of (negative value), and this is on the occasion of the time difference of (negative value) expression reference clock REF and feedback clock FB.Must notice that digital loop filter 120 includes integrating function usually.Because the integrating function of digital loop filter 120, time difference signal TD be when (negative value), will make handle C increase (minimizing).In the mode of this loop circuit (closed-loop), handle C is adjusted the sequential that sequential (timing) (being frequency or phase place) that (namely increase or reduce) can make feedback clock FB can be followed the trail of (track) reference clock REF.Under stable state, handle C settles out (settle) and is suitable numerical value, and the mean value of time difference signal TD (mean value) is necessary for zero (zero), otherwise handle C will be because of the integrating function of digital loop filter 120 lost efficacy (blow up), and can't settle out.Therefore, under stable state, the 3rd frequency must equal first frequency.As a result, make second frequency be higher than the 3rd frequency N doubly owing to remove the processing of N circuit 140A, so second frequency must be higher than first frequency N doubly.
Figure 1A digital phase locked loop 100A realizes except N circuit 140A can use expediently except N counter (for example N being made as integer (integer)).Yet, because the divisor of counter need be integer, if but N is not integer, directly realizing with the counter with fixed divisor can't normal operation.If realize processing non-integer N (non-integer N) except the N function, must hypothesis N=N
Int+ α, wherein N
IntBe integer, α is the mark (fractional number) between 0~1, but and divider value that need Set arbitrarily (shuffle) counter.One embodiment, but divider value Set arbitrarily N
IntWith (N
Int+ 1); As long as (N
Int+ 1) possibility of divider value (probability) is α and N
IntThe divider value possibility is (1-α), and effectively divider value will equal N
Int+ α.In the known technology, triangular integration modulator (delta-sigmamodulator) is usually used in this divider value of dynamic setting.
With digital phase locked loop 100A except N circuit 140A with Figure 1B have except N with replace enforcement except the digital phase locked loop PLL 100B of mark function.The circuit 140B of one embodiment includes double modulus divider (Dual-modulus divider, DMD) 150 and triangular integration modulator (Delta-sigmamodulator, DSM) 160.Double modulus divider 150 in order to output clock OUT divided by a divider value N
IntOr (N
Int+ 1), and according to binary code CARRY produces feedback clock FB.And triangular integration modulator 160 is in order to receiving fractional value α, and modulates fractional value α according to the sequential that feedback clock FB provides and become binary code CARRY.The purpose of triangular integration modulator 160 is to produce binary code CARRY, and for example producing CARRY is 0, may be for α or 1, may be (1-α), and the mean value of CARRY equals α.Mode according to this, output clock OUT by divided by Set arbitrarily at N
IntAnd (N
Int+ 1) numerical value between, and mean value is N
IntThe divider value of+α is to produce feedback clock FB.
Select arbitrarily (Shuffling) can effectively reach except N and the effect of removing mark (fractional-Ndivision) except the divider value of N circuit.Present embodiment, under stable state, difference average time of reference clock REF and feedback clock FB (being the mean value of time difference signal TD) still equals zero, but (instantaneous) time difference of moment is non-vanishing, and maximum almost can be T
DCO/ 2.Wherein, T
DCOBe cycle time of expression output clock OUT, and divider value is that Set arbitrarily is N
IntWith (N
Int+ 1) numerical value between.The time difference of moment will cause that time difference signal TD produces transient noise, cause handle C noise to occur, and then cause output clock OUT to produce phase noise.
Except being produced the phase noise by any selection divider value, nonideal time-to-digital converter 110 (in Figure 1A or Figure 1B) also can be contributed (cont r ibute) phase noise in output clock OUT.Shown in Fig. 1 C, time difference signal TD should be the ratio of reference clock REF and feedback clock FB time difference, as shown in broken broken line 170 illustrate.Yet in fact, the characteristic of time-to-digital converter will depart from brokenly broken line 170 as camber line 180.This will be made time difference signal TD generation error and output clock OUT will be produced undesired phase noise by desirable straight line skew problem.

Fig. 3 shows the schematic diagram of the triangular integration modulator 300 of one embodiment of the invention.Triangular integration modulator 300 is applicable to implement the triangular integration modulator 260 among Fig. 2 A or the 2B.Modulator 300 is and feedback clock FB synchronous operation.Modulator 300 includes first and adds way circuit 310, integrator 320, the arithmetic unit that rounds off (Rounding operator) 330, second and add way circuit 340 and gain/postpone (gain/delay) element 350.Modulator 300 is essentially accumulator (accumulator), and it utilizes integrator 320 cumulative mark α (wherein 0<α<1).Round off arithmetic unit 330 with the accumulation amount computing of rounding off, to produce delivery signal CARRY.When accumulation amount surpasses 0.5, delivery signal CARRY is 1, and first adds way circuit 310 with the numerical value-1 of accumulator; Do not surpass 0.5 and work as accumulation amount, delivery signal CARRY is 0, and must not deduct the numerical value of accumulator any numerical value this moment.Mode according to this, accumulation amount can be controlled in interval [0.5,0.5], and delivery signal CARRY only can be 0 or 1.
Moment, error signal was to utilize second to add the input and output time difference that way circuit 340 calculates the arithmetic unit 330 that rounds off, and postponed and/or the convergent-divergent generation by 350 pairs of these time differences of gain/delay element.As shown in Figure 3, the factor (factor) z-1 of gain/delay element 350 marks represents a unit delay, and whether the factor 2 is fallen within the interval [1,1] by standardization in order to the result who confirms moment error ε for gain factor.
Only otherwise break away from spirit of the present invention and scope, the embodiment that technology of the present invention can various replacements realizes.For example, the triangular integration modulator of higher-order (DSM) also can be used in the present invention.Mode according to this, delivery signal CARRY is not binary signal, and can become multistage integer signal (Multi-levelinteger signal), and the double modulus divider need be replaced with multi-modulus divider.
In addition, various types of series expansion also can be used to replace Legnedre polynomial progression.For example, can utilize Taylor series (Taylor series), Fourier series (Fourier series) ... replace.Those skilled in the art are not breaking away under spirit of the present invention and the category, can judge voluntarily according to its demand, use to select suitable mathematics series expansion.For example, when selecting Taylor series to replace, need only respectively the equation Pn (x) that is defined in the Legnedre polynomial of equation (1)~(6) (n=0~5) be replaced with P '
n(x)=x
n(n=0~5).Yet, must notice that equational power (power functions) is not quadrature each other.That is to say P '
n(x)=x
nNot with P '
m(x)=x
mQuadrature supposes that n is not equal to m.(two equation quadratures are not have statistic correlation (zero statisticalcorrelation) just to set up between two equations.Mode according to this, the embodiment 200B of Fig. 2 B and equation (12) merge makes to carry out adaptability computing (adaptation) and inappropriate, because equation (12) is take orthogonal property as the basis, the merging of equation (12) only use fundamental equation expand into quadrature the time just suitably.Yet the embodiment 200B of Fig. 2 B still can use, as long as the adaptability computing of replacing includes Gram-Schmidt process (Gram-Schmidt orthgonalization).Gram-Schmidt process is familiar with by those skilled in the art, repeats no more its details; If the person of being unfamiliar with, but the mathematics textbook of normative reference.In any case, when the embodiment 200B of choice for use Fig. 2 B, can adopt those quadrature equations as series expansion.
Though more than with embodiment the present invention is described, therefore do not limit scope of the present invention, only otherwise break away from main idea of the present invention, those skilled in the art can carry out various distortion or change, all fall into the category of claim scope of the present invention.
