Noise Contributors in a Frac-N PLL Example: 3rd order MASH SD modulator, 3rd order loop “synth” noise Ref. noise VCO noise 20log(N/R) 20logN SD Noise Xtal Ref. Phase Noise PFD Noise floor = FOM+10log(fPFD) • To ensure far out noise is dominated by VCO performance… • SD modulator should have sufficient OSR (power penalty) • Pole at 1/R3C3 as low as possible (trade-off vs. loop stability margin)
