Abstract


in this paper, we propose an All-Digital On-Chip Phase Noise Measurement Technique. This Technique can be integrated as part of a built-in self-test (BIST) scheme for phaselocked loop (PLL)-based clock synthesizers. The proposed technique based on an all digital ΣΔ-frequency discriminator (Σ ΔFD). Unlike all previously reported techniques, our proposed technique is implemented using digital-only circuits. This makes it easily integrated and scaled down for high-density microprocessor applications with modern sub 100nm technology nodes ©2009 IEEE.
