Abstract
We present a wide-range ring oscillator based injection-locked clock multiplier with an embedded phase interpolator. The pseudo-differential ring oscillator employs current-starved inverters with a tunable capacitor load. The inverter delays are controlled to change the output phase while retaining the output frequency and jitter. Designed in a 65nm CMOS process, the clock multiplier uses a 312.5MHz reference clock and generates a 2.5-5.0GHz output clock when simulated with RC-extracted parasitics. The output clock phase can be controlled with 1.5° - 2° accuracy. At 5GHz output, the clock multiplier achieves an integrated rms jitter of 450-550fs across phase interpolation codes. Operating from 1.2V supply, it consumes 9.4mW at 5GHz that scales down to 4.3mW at 2.5GHz. © 2020 IEEE
