Title: why the differential buffer stage in John Maneatis's paper has good supply rejec Post by sapphire on Jan 20th, 2011, 7:23pm Hi, This is a famous PLL paper, and I just went back to check it out. I understand that the replica bias is used to dynamically adjust the bias current in accordance with supply variation. Therefore, the lower swing limit of the buffer stage is always equal to Vctrl. This is good. But the output resistance of the symmetrical load is still related to the supply voltage. So the delay is still affected by the Vdd to the first order. Why he claims it's low jitter and supply insensitive buffer? The paper is called "low-jitter process-independent DLL and PLL Based on Self-Biased Techniques" Thanks Sapphire |
