摘要
This paper presents the design considerations and implementation of a novel topology digital multistage-noise-shaping （MASH） delta-sigma modulator suitable for fractional-N phase-locked-loop （PLL） frequency synthesis. In an effort to reduce the complexity and dissipation,a pipeline technique has been used, and the proposed carry save tree （CST） algorithm optimizes the multi-input adder structure. The circuit has been verified through Matlab simulation, ASIC implementation, and FPGA experiment, which exhibits high performance and potential for a gigahertz range,low-power monolithic CMOS frequency synthesizer.
