Phase Detector Circuits Presented by: Ricky Lau Outline Why this topic? Common Phase Detectors (PD) in industry Novel Phase Detector design Future design challenges of Phase Detectors Why this topic? Clock and Data Recovery Systems (CDR) are extensively used in telecommunication and digital systems Phase Detector is critical to the performance of a CDR system Linear vs Bang-Bang PD Hogge Phase Detector Static phase error due to CK-Q delay of FF Low output jitter and retimes data Alexander Phase Detector High output jitter Maintain VCO frequency even when no data transition Retimes Data Improved Bang-Bang PD Large freq steps enhance pull-in range Small freq steps reduce output jitter Half-Rate Architecture Future Challenges Jitter performance Pull-in range Sensitivity to input data patterns Reliability Analog vs Digital PD Questions?
