Strengths of <strong>Spectre</strong><strong>RF</strong> <strong>Noise</strong> aware <strong>PLL</strong> flow<br />
Calibrates the VCO and PFD/CP model automatically<br />

No behavioral modeling expertise required<br />
– Models automatically generated during <strong>Spectre</strong><strong>RF</strong> noise<br />
simulations<br />
Provides an option to simulate either with or without noise: Simulate<br />
without noise for <strong>PLL</strong> large signal characteristics (Lock Time) or with<br />
noise for phase noise, jitter or injection pulling metrics.<br />
Provides an option to look at <strong>PLL</strong> advanced metrics such as<br />
injection pulling or power supply noise rejection through ADE direct<br />
plot form.<br />
Benefits from a tight <strong>Spectre</strong><strong>RF</strong> integration using our Simulator<br />
Kernel Interface (SKI) allowing better simulation performances.
