Abstract:
Digital jitter accumulation reduction techniques and circuits are proposed to mitigate jitter accumulation in Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs). In order to reduce jitter accumulation, employing a pair of identical injection locked VCOs is proposed in an interleaved fashion. Further jitter accumulation reductions can be provided by employing a plurality of identical injection locked VCOs selected in a cascading fashion. Yet further jitter accumulation reductions can be provided by resetting the deselected VCO(s).
