Digital phase-locked loops (DPLLs) [1-7] have received considerable attention recently due to their compatibility with advanced CMOS technology. However, there are two critical factors hindering their uptake in SoC products. One factor is that a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is highly sensitive to supply noise. A common solution is to apply voltage regulation or to adopt digital calibration [2] at the cost of larger area, higher power consumption or both. The other factor is a power-hungry time-to-digital converter (TDC), which typically requires complex auxiliary circuitry to overcome sensitivity to process, voltage and temperature [3]. A bang-bang phase/frequency detector (BBPFD) is a good alternative to the TDC for low-power small-size applications. A fractional-N implementation, however, still demands a fractional frequency divider with high design complexity [5].
