  • Abstract
    In this paper, a phase-locked loop (PLL) with programmable gain VCO is proposed and analyzed. The proposed design adjusts the gain of the VCO based on the input frequency and the charge pump and loop filter settings in order to achieve lower phase noise. The proposed design is implemented using TSMC 45nm CMOS with a 0.9-V supply voltage. The pre-layout simulation shows that the random jitter of the system is improved when the VCO gain is reduced.
