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 />

–<br />

September 17, 2007<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.
