  • Transfer functions for the Reference Clock jitter in a serial link: theory and applications
    2005
    Co-Authors: A. Martwick, G Talbot, J. Wilstrup
    Abstract:

    Transfer functions for the Reference Clock jitter in a serial link such as the PCI express 100 MHz Reference Clock are established for various Clock and data recovery circuits (CDRCs). In addition, mathematical interrelationships between phase, period, and cycle-to-cycle jitter are established and phase jitter is used with the jitter transfer function. Numerical simulations are carried out for these transfer functions. Relevant eye-closure/total jitter at a certain bit error rate (BER) level for the receiver is estimated by applying these jitter transfer functions to the measured phase jitter of the Reference Clock over a range of transfer function parameters. Implications of this new development to serial link Reference Clock testing and specification formulation are discussed.

  • A +0.66/−0.73 °C Inaccuracy, 1.99-μW Time-Domain CMOS Temperature Sensor With Second-Order ΔΣ Modulator and On-Chip Reference Clock
    IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers, 2020
    Co-Authors: Yang Chen, Zihao Jiao, Weijun Guan, Quan Sun, Xiaofei Wang, Ruizhi Zhang, Hong Zhang
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a compact and low-power time-domain CMOS temperature sensor intended for Internet of Things. To eliminate the off-chip Reference Clock that is commonly needed for time-domain CMOS temperature sensors, a precise on-chip Reference Clock is designed to measure the temperature-dependent delay generated by an inverter chain with even stages. In the Reference Clock circuit, a relaxation oscillator showing discharging phases with negative temperature coefficient (TC) is designed, which are compensated by 2 identical inverter-chains with positive-TC delay, resulting in a Reference Clock with nearly temperature-independent pulse width and period. In addition, a $2^{{\text {nd}}}$ -order hybrid time-voltage delta-sigma ( $\Delta \Sigma $ ) modulator with feedforward path is proposed to quantize the temperature-dependent delay of the main inverter chain, achieving 100-mK resolution only in about 25-ms conversion time. Fabricated in 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ CMOS, measurement results show that the best (worst)-case temperature accuracy of the Clock’s Reference time is ±0.015% (±0.055%) and the temperature sensor achieves a maximum inaccuracy of +0.66/−0.73 °C from −20 °C to −80 °C. The prototype occupies 0.45-mm2 chip area and consumes 1.99- $\mu \text{W}$ from a 1.8-V supply at room temperature.
