Bang-bang phase-locked loops (PLLs) are prone to generate unwanted output spur tones and high noise floor. In this reported work, a spur reduction technique based on dithering is compared to an alternative technique which exploits oscillator intrinsic noise.

Abstract

Bang-bang phase-locked loops (PLLs) are prone to generate unwanted output spur tones and high noise floor. In this reported work, a spur reduction technique based on dithering is compared to an alternative technique which exploits oscillator intrinsic noise. It is shown how the latter, joined to a proper loop design, allows eliminating unwanted spur tones while yielding a lower noise floor.
