A fast phase frequency detector (PFD) and low gain low phase noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)-based phase-locked loop (PLL) design are presented in this paper. PLL works in the frequency range of 0.025–1.6[Formula: see text]GHz, targeting various SoC applications. The proposed PFD, designed using CMOS dynamic logic, is fast and improves the locking time, dead zone and blind zone in the PLL. The standard CMOS inverter gate-based pseudo differential VCO is used in the PLL. Also, CMOS inverter is used as variable capacitor to tune the frequency of VCO with control voltage. The proposed PLL is designed in a 180[Formula: see text]nm CMOS process with supply voltage of 1.8[Formula: see text]V. The phase noise of VCO is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100[Formula: see text]MHz. The reference clock of 25[Formula: see text]MHz synthesizes the output clock of 1.6[Formula: see text]GHz with rms jitter of 0.642[Formula: see text]ps.

A two-dimensional digital-to-analog converter (DAC) structure compatible with dynamic element matching (DEM) methods is presented. Unlike the DACs using segmented structure for employing DEM, the new structure randomizes inter-segment error. This advantage is achieved because of the characteristics of the algorithm of two-dimensional decoding. The simulation results in 180[Formula: see text]nm CMOS technology, 319.72[Formula: see text]MHz signal frequency and 800[Formula: see text]MS/s sample rate for an 8-bit two-dimensional DAC utilizing the presented structure, shows 14.94[Formula: see text]dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) improvement compared to the SFDR of the same DAC without employing the presented structure. Also, the IMD3 of the DAC employing the presented structure for [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]MHz and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]MHz is 50.1[Formula: see text]dB.

This paper presents noise reduction and modified asynchronous logic regulation techniques used in successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). With a transconductance enhanced structure, noise reduction is provided in the dynamic comparator. The input referred noise of the proposed comparator is about 165[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]V rms at 60∘C (typical corner). An enhanced-positive-feedback loop is introduced to reduce the regeneration delay of the comparator. In addition, a modified asynchronous logic regulation technique is exhibited, a clock with adaptable delay is driving the comparator in approximation phase. Consequently, the settling accuracy of DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) is enough and the conversion speed of SAR ADC is increased without any redundant cycles. To demonstrate the proposed techniques, a design of SAR ADC is fabricated in 65-nm CMOS technology, consuming 4[Formula: see text]mW from 1.2[Formula: see text]V power supply with a [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB. The proposed ADC core occupies an active area of 0.048[Formula: see text]mm2, and the corresponding FoM is 27.2[Formula: see text]fJ/conversion-step at Nyquist rate.
