Summary:
A 1.8 V, 5 GHz low power frequency synthesizer for Wireless Sensor Networks is presented in 0.18 µm CMOS technology. A low power phase-switching prescaler is designed, and the current mode phase rotator is merged into the first divide-by-2 circuit of the prescaler to reduce power and propagation delay. An improved charge pump circuit is proposed to compensate for the dynamic effects with the charge pump. By a divide-by-2 circuit, the frequency synthesizer can provide a 2.324-2.714 GHz quadrature output frequency in 1 MHz steps with a 4 MHz reference frequency. The measured output phase noise is -110 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset frequency. The power consumption of the PLL is 11.2 mW at 1.8 V supply voltage.
