摘要
A low power fast settling multi-standard CMOS fractional-N frequency synthesizer is proposed. The current reusing and frequency presetting techniques are adopted to realize the low power fast settling multi-standard fractional-N frequency synthesizer. An auxiliary non-volatile memory （NVM） is embedded to avoid the repetitive calibration process and to save power in practical application. This PLL is implemented in a 0.18 #m technology. The frequency range is 0.3 to 2.54 GHz and the settling time is less than 5 #s over the entire frequency range. The LC-VCO with the stacked divide-by-2 has a good figure of merit of-193.5 dBc/Hz. The measured phase noise of frequency synthesizer is about -115 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset when the carrier frequency is 2.4 GHz and the reference spurs are less than -52 dBc. The whole frequency synthesizer consumes only 4.35 mA @ 1.8 V.
