A 40-GHz Fast-Locked All-Digital Phase-Locked Loop Using a Modified Bang-Bang Algorithm

A 40-GHz fast-locked all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) using a modified bang-bang algorithm is presented. An inductor is used to extend the frequency tuning range of a 40-GHz digitally controlled oscillator. This ADPLL is fabricated by a 90-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process. The measured peak-to-peak jitter and the root-mean-square jitter are 2.622 ps and 303.632 fs, respectively, at 40 GHz. The measured locked times are 1.3 ms and 15 μs without and with the modified bang-bang algorithm, respectively.
