question on phase-domain phase detector noise model
Jan 24th, 2018, 10:01pm
 
Hello,
 I have read paper "Predicting the Phase Noise of PLL-Based Frequency Synthesizers" , and use the verilogA model descried in the paper to calculate phase noise of PLL. The paper is very useful.
 I have a question on phase-domain phase detector noise model listed in this paper,the phase-domain model of the synthesizer from the paper(P8, Figure4) is show below.

 in p17. LISTING 6, phase-domain phase detector noise model, I(out)<+-gain*Theta(pin,nin)/(2*`M_PI), there is a minus sign before gain, I  think there should not be a minus sign before gain, am I right?

In Verilog-A a positive current on out would flow into the charge pump. The formula computes the current leaving the charge pump. Hence the sigh inversion.
