Design and Implementation of a Fractional Frequency Divider for Dual Mode Wireless Receivers

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a fractional frequency divider (FFD) is designed for Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) based Frequency Synthesizer, which can be used for GPS/Galileo and WCDMA dual-mode receivers. Based on a dual-modulus prescaler (DMP) and a programmable frequency divider (FD), the integer part can cover from 513 to 760. The fractional part is realized by improved MASH1-1-1 Delta-Sigma (Δ-Σ) modulator (DSM). The whole fractional frequency divider is implemented in TSMC 0.18μm CMOS process, occupying a chip area of 0.714mm2. With the voltage supply of 1.8V, the operating frequency range of the fractional frequency divider is 0.5-5.3GHz; and its supply current is about 5.9mA.
