ABSTRACT
In this paper, a low power and low jitter 12-bit
CMOS digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) design is
presented. The CMOS DCO design is based on a
ring oscillator implemented with Schmitt trigger
based inverters. Simulations of the proposed DCO
using 32nm Predictive Transistor Model (PTM)
achieve controllable frequency range of around
570MHz~850MHz with a wide range of linearity.
Monte Carlo simulation demonstrates that the time-
period jitter due to random power supply fluctuation
is under 75ps and the power consumption is
2.3mW at 800MHz and 0.9 power supply.
