Abstract
A spread-spectrum clock generator (SSCG) is an essential building block for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a system-on-a-chip without shielding the device that increases the system cost and weight. In a <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\Delta } {\Sigma }$ </tex-math></inline-formula> modulator (DSM)-based SSCG, EMI reduction is degraded by attenuating the harmonic components of the generated profile owing to the phase-locked loop bandwidth ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$ {f}_{{\text {LBW}}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ). This brief proposes a DSM-based SSCG with a digital compensator to maximize EMI reduction with a triangular profile. By adaptively reconfiguring the gains of the digital compensator, the proposed SSCG maintains the EMI reduction regardless of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$ {f}_{\text {LBW}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> variations. The EMI reduction is improved by 2.17 dB at 1.35 GHz with the lowest <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$ {f}_{\text {LBW}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> . A prototype of the proposed SSCG is fabricated using 65-nm CMOS technology. The measured RMS jitter and power consumption are is 2.47 ps and 7 mW, respectively and the die occupies 0.292 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> .
