26 Using Spectre RF Noise-Aware PLL Methodology to Predict PLL Behavior Accurately Introduction Spectre RF Noise-Aware PLL Flow and Non-Linear VCO Modeling Advantages of this flow versus other commercial approaches Experimental results Conclusion September 17, 2007
27 Conclusions • • • • Cadence SpectreRF Noise-aware PLL flow predicts the phase noise of a PLL-based frequency synthesizer using a simulation method that is both accurate and efficient. For each block, the phase noise is extracted and applied to a phase-domain model for the entire PLL.VCO phase noise is accurately characterized using advanced perturbation technology (PPV). Strengths of this flow (automatic calibration, greatly improved simulation time without loss of accuracy, direct plotting capability of PLL metrics) were presented. Compared to traditional approaches, experimental data confirmed a significant speed-up with comparable accuracy. September 17, 2007
