Description

Cycle slip suppression circuit for PLL frequency synthesizer
Technical Field
The invention relates to a cycle slip suppression circuit for a PLL frequency synthesizer, and belongs to the technical field of wireless communication radio frequency.
Background
The phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer is an important component module of a communication system, and the main index locking speed of the module determines the channel switching and the system starting speed of the communication system. Especially in Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and spread spectrum frequency hopping communication systems, the locking speed is the most critical index for determining the performance of the frequency synthesizer. For a common Charge Pump Phase Locked Loop (CPPLL), the requirements of phase noise, spurs, and locking speed on the loop bandwidth are always contradictory, and increasing the locking speed generally requires the phase locked loop to have a wide loop bandwidth, while obtaining good spurs and phase noise performance requires the phase locked loop to have a narrow loop bandwidth. When the loop bandwidth is narrower than the PFD frequency, the pll will cycle slip, which is caused by the accumulation of the phase error of the PFD too fast, and the linear range of the currently used PFD circuit is ± 2 pi, and beyond this range, the pll will not be in time to correct, so that the charge pump will draw current in the wrong direction, which will greatly prolong the locking time of the loop and reduce the locking speed.
Various cycle slip detection techniques have been proposed by researchers. US patent US7003065B2 proposes a "phase locked loop cycle slip detection" interface with the PFD, which provides logic to detect and indicate the leading and lagging cycle slips as they occur in the PFD, and is typically implemented with fewer logic gates and flip-flop arrangements, and other US patents such as US6466058B1, US6856202B2 also use similar techniques. This type of technique detects the number of cycles that the PFD circuit loses when comparing two input frequencies by using flip-flops and logic circuits. The U.S. patent US6265902B1 proposes a "phase detector for slip detection and a method for improving the lock time of a phase-locked loop", which uses an improved digital PFD circuit to detect and compensate the cycle slip between a reference frequency and a feedback frequency, the circuit is composed of a flip-flop type PFD circuit, 2 counter circuits and a logic gate, etc., the cycle slip detection circuit detects the number of cycles lost by two input frequencies of the PFD, and generates a correction signal to compensate the detected cycle slip, thereby improving the lock time of the phase-locked loop. Still other patents adopt more complicated circuit structures, and need to add additional converter circuits, or add additional control circuits to the voltage-controlled oscillator and the frequency divider, which increases the difficulty of implementation and affects the loop.
