Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a fractional frequency all-digital phase-locked loop and a control method thereof.
Background
The all-digital phase-locked loop adopts a digital circuit to realize loop control, so that the all-digital phase-locked loop has high design and realization flexibility, is convenient to integrate with other systems on a chip, can obtain better performance along with the development of an integrated circuit manufacturing process, and has very wide application. However, in the fractional frequency all-digital phase-locked loop with the traditional structure, due to the existence of fractional quantization error, the phase error change range between clock signals input by the phase discriminator is very large, and the requirements on the design complexity, power consumption and error control of the time-to-digital converter are very high. In order to reduce the input phase error range of the time-to-digital converter, a delay can be added on the reference clock or the feedback clock to compensate the delay of the fractional quantization error. The design difficulty of the digital-to-time converter is lower than that of a time-to-digital converter, high precision is easy to realize, and the method is widely applied to a fractional digital phase-locked loop.
The control of delay compensation is typically based on a delta-sigma modulator (DSM) and a digital-to-time converter (DTC), where the output delay time range of the digital-to-time converter is typically determined by the structure of the delta-sigma modulator. If a higher order modulator is used to improve randomness and suppress the fractional spurs at the output of the pll due to quantization errors and digital-to-time converter non-linearities, the delay time range of the output of the dac will also increase. Typically, if a first order modulator is used, the time-to-digital modulator requires an output delay time in the range of Tckv, where Tckv is the target period of the oscillator output clock; if a second order modulator is used, the output delay time range becomes (2 Tckv). The larger output delay time range puts higher requirements on the design difficulty, power consumption, area, linearity and noise of the digital-to-time converter, and limits the energy efficiency and performance of the phase-locked loop.
In order to alleviate the design requirement of the output delay time range on the digital-to-time converter, a circuit designer usually has to adopt a compromise method, such as adopting a modulator with a low order number, even not using the modulator, and sacrificing the fractional spurious performance; a digital time converter with higher resolution is used so as to obtain output delay time in a larger range, and the linearity is sacrificed to cause a serious fractional spurious problem; jitter (diter) is added to the output of the digital-to-time converter with poor linearity to convert the fractional spur of a particular frequency into noise distributed over the entire spectral range, which degrades the noise performance of the phase-locked loop. Recent researchers have reduced the required delay time range of the digital-to-time converter output by using the clock falling edge, but this method requires the clock signal to strictly satisfy 50% duty cycle, so a precise duty cycle correction circuit is required, the design complexity and power consumption are increased, and extra phase noise or error may be introduced into the loops operating simultaneously in the phase-locked loop, which results in unstable loop operation.

In cycle 1 and cycle 3, the ckr rising edge is aligned with the rising edge of ckv, when the phase error is 0; in cycle 2, the ckr rising edge is aligned with the falling edge of ckv, at which time the phase error is 0.5Tckv, where Tckv is the oscillator output clock period. It can be seen that, after the target frequency is locked, the residual phase error is not 0, and the phase-locked loop is not stable in locking. If the frequency error frac _ q is integrated into the phase dcw and the delay ckr is used to ckr _ dly, it can be seen that after the target frequency is locked, the reference ckr _ dly is aligned with the rising edge of the oscillator output ckv in each cycle, the remaining phase error is 0, and the phase-locked loop can operate stably.
In a first embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 4, the fractional-frequency controller FRAC CTRL is implemented in the form of: the order of the delta-sigma modulator DSM in the fractional-frequency controller FRAC CTRL is 2. The word length of input fcwin _ frac of the delta-sigma modulator DSM is W, the word length of output modulation signal dsmout is 3, dsmout is adjusted according to W to obtain dsmout & 2^ W, and the adjustment weight of dsmout is achieved through shifting. The subtractor outputs frac _ q ═ fcwin _ frac-dsmout · 2^ W. The accumulator input is frac _ q, the word size is W +2, the accumulator output is frac _ qacc, the word size is W + 2. The input of the complementation unit MOD is frac _ qacc, the complementation unit flags frac _ qacc to be less than 0 by the generated flag bit frac _ flag, if frac _ qacc is less than 0, frac _ flag is 1, the original delay control word dcw0 is frac _ qacc +2^ W is output, and if frac _ qacc is greater than or equal to 0, frac _ flag is 0, the original delay control word dcw0 is frac _ qacc is output. In this implementation, the equivalent function of the modulo unit is to complement frac _ qacc +2^ W, with the modulus 2^ W. The frac _ flag in fig. 4 represents the whole quotient frac _ quo, and dcw0 represents the remainder frac _ res. And outputting a fractional frequency control word fcw _ frac ═ fcwin _ frac-frac _ flag + frac _ flag _ last, wherein frac _ flag _ last is the value of frac _ flag in the last period. In fig. 4, the gain correction unit GainCorrector is configured to adjust the weight of the output frac _ res of the complementation unit according to the target output clock frequency of the DCO, so that dcw is dcw0 · dcw _ gain ═ frac _ res · dcw _ gain, and the dcw is guaranteed to be consistent with the conversion gain of the digital-to-time converter DTC, even if the maximum output value of the frac _ res corresponds to one clock cycle of the target output of the DCO.
FIG. 5 is a timing diagram of various signals internally generated by the fractional frequency controller according to an embodiment of the present invention. The specific implementation manner of performing the modulo operation on the phase error frac _ qacc is as follows: if frac _ qacc is less than 0, frac _ flag is equal to 1, and a delay control word dcw is output, wherein frac _ qacc +2^ W; if frac _ qacc is greater than or equal to 0, frac _ flag is equal to 0, and the delay control word dcw is equal to frac _ qacc. And outputting a fractional frequency control word fcw _ frac ═ fcwin _ frac-frac _ flag + frac _ flag _ last, wherein frac _ flag _ last is the value of frac _ flag in the last period.
Fig. 6A is a schematic diagram of a relation between a delay control word and a fractional frequency control word of a fractional frequency all-digital phase-locked loop in the prior art, and fig. 6B is a schematic diagram of a relation between a delay control word and a fractional frequency control word of a fractional frequency all-digital phase-locked loop in the prior art, it can be seen that, when the fractional frequency all-digital phase-locked loop in the prior art is compared with the fractional frequency all-digital phase-locked loop in the prior art, a range of an output frequency control word dcw is reduced, an output ckr _ dly of a digital time converter DTC is the same, an average value of the fractional frequency control word fcw _ frac is unchanged, only in two adjacent periods when a flag signal frac _ flag is changed, a value of fcw _ frac is changed, and a value changed in a previous period is restored in a next period. The operation of the phase locked loop frequency and phase locking remains stable.
In the fractional-frequency adpll, a higher order signal modulator is required to achieve better spur performance, but the delay at the output of the dac is increased. The invention aims to limit the output delay of a digital-time converter within a Tckv range by a mode of modulus operation and residue operation through a residue operation unit in a fractional frequency controller, so that the order of a signal modulator can be unlimited. Assuming that T is the period duration of the target output of the dco, the clock generation and control circuit generates the clock signal ckr, which is delayed by N · T + Δ T (N is an integer) through the digital-to-time converter in the prior art, so that the delayed low frequency clock signal ckr _ dly and the feedback signal fb can be aligned. Through the complementation operation in the fractional frequency controller, the ckr only needs to delay delta T, namely, the ckr _ dly only needs to delay delta T longer than the ckr, the delay of N.T is equivalently realized by adjusting the fractional frequency control word fcw _ frac of the adjacent period, the mean value of fcw _ frac is unchanged, and the loop can work correctly. On the other hand, the complementation implemented using digital circuits is accurate and does not introduce additional errors. When the modulus is an integer power of 2, the circuit is implemented by simple bit operations, requiring very little hardware overhead. The output delay range of the digital-to-time converter is reduced by the complementation operation, so that the error and noise generated in the delay process of the analog circuit can be reduced, and the complexity and the power consumption of the analog circuit are reduced.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: the invention can reduce the delay range of the low-frequency clock signal ckr _ dly output by the digital time converter to a single Tckv only by adjusting and adjusting the delay control word dcw input to the digital time converter, the fractional frequency control word fcw _ frac and the integer frequency control word fcw _ int input to the auxiliary frequency locking loop through the fractional frequency controller without considering the order of the signal modulator for controlling the delay control word, thereby reducing the requirement of the fractional frequency phase-locked loop on the output delay time range of the digital time converter and further reducing the design difficulty and the power consumption of the digital time converter. The invention is realized by using a digital logic circuit for operation, has simple theory, requires very little extra hardware overhead and is easy to realize.
While the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, the invention is not limited thereto, and various equivalent modifications and substitutions can be easily made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
