ZENG Zhao-quan,HSU Yong-sheng,MALLINSON Martin,et al.A Design of Clock Frequency Multiplication Circuit Based on Finite Impulse Response Filter[J].ACTA ELECTRONICA SINICA,2023,51(10):2791-2800.
This paper presents a clock multiplication and jitter reduction circuit based on finite impulse response (FIR) filters. Compared with phase-locked loop (PLL) or delay-locked loop (DLL) techniques used in conventional clock multiplier
the proposed clock multiplier generates a high-precision clock phase based on the working principle of FIR filter while reducing the clock frequency jitter. A new zero-crossing detection circuit is also designed to generate output clock pulses. The proposed clock multiplier can achieve fast lock-in time
as well as low power consumption and area cost. This design is implemented in SMIC 0.18 um CMOS process
the input clock frequency is 32 MHz
the output is multiplied by 5 when the lock-in time is less than 1.5 clock cycles
and the input clock jitter is reduced from 43.6 ps RMS to 24.6 ps RMS.
