Abstract
This disclosure is directed to PLLs, and, in particular, to enhancing PLL performance via gain calibration. PLL loop gain may vary with respect to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variation. To control the PLL loop gain, a gain calibration loop may be implemented. However, calibrating the loop gain by directly measuring the loop gain may be disadvantageous. To reduce or eliminate PLL loop gain variation due to PVT variation, a PLL having a loop gain function that is a function of an input phase offset time with a phase noise performance that remains consistent across PVT variations is disclosed. By determining a relationship between PLL loop gain and phase offset, detecting and calibrating phase offset may result in enhanced calibration of the PLL loop gain, while avoiding the additional difficulty and complexity associated with directly measuring loop gain of a PLL.
