为使DRM/DAB/AM/FM频率综合器具有良好性能,本文设计了一种高速大分频比低功耗吞吐脉冲分频器.此吞吐脉冲分频器由32/33双模预分频器(dual-modulus prescaler,DMP)、5位吞吐计数器和11位可编程分频器及时序控制电路构成.此吞吐脉冲分频器内部的不同模块分别采用SCL、TSPC、CMOS静态触发器及可置位的CMOS静态触发器等多种触发器结构优化,使此吞吐脉冲分频器具有高速、大分频比和低功耗的特点.此吞吐脉冲分频器应用中芯国际SMIC 0.18μm RF CMOS工艺流片,芯片核心面积为270μm×110μm.测试结果显示,在1.8 V工作电压的条件下,此吞吐脉冲分频器的最高工作频率为3.4 GHz,工作频率范围为0.9~3.4 GHz.在输入信号频率为3.4 GHz,分频比为45695时,功耗为3.2 mW.实验结果表明,此吞吐脉冲分频器完全满足DRM/DAB/AM/FM频率综合器的要求.
For the good performance of DRM / DAB / AM / FM frequency synthesizer,the implementation of a high-speed large division ratio low-power pulse swallow frequency divider is described,which consists of a divided-by-32 /33 dual-modulus prescaler( DMP),a 5 bits swallow counter,an 11-bits programmable divider,and a time sequence control circuit. The different modules of pulse swallow frequency divider apply SCL,TSPC,CMOS static flip-flop DFF,and CMOS static flip-flop DFF with preset to realize the low power, large division ratio,and high speed performances. The chip has been fabricated in a 0. 18 μm CMOS process of SMIC and the core area is 270 μm×110 μm. Measured results show that its most high operation frequency is 3. 4 GHz and the rang of operation frequency is from 0. 9 GHz to 3. 4 GHz. And when the operating frequency is 3. 4 GHz and division ratio is 45 695,the maximum core power consumption is 3. 2 mW under 1. 8 V power supply. Its performance satisfies the requirement of DRM / DAB / AM / FM frequency synthesizer.
