Abstract

Circuit topology Clocks Delays Design methodology Frequency conversion Resonant frequency RLC circuits
A methodology is presented in order to automate the selection of a design style for low frequency operation of ultra low power rotary traveling wave oscillators (RTWOs). The methodology systemically analyzes the power dissipation profiles of design styles with two priori known resonant frequency dividers, a static and a dynamic frequency divider. The proposed methodology is very effective in leading to a unique design style solution for systems with one frequency target. For systems with multiple frequency targets, the proposed methodology not only leads to a unique solution but also provides guidance on re-selection of frequency targets for improved performance. A 1.2 GHz RTWO is used to generate a target frequency of 135 MHz, while consuming 0.82× the power of an RTWO for that frequency using a static frequency divider. A dynamic frequency divider is used to generate two target frequencies of 137 MHz and 204 MHz using a master clock of 1.2 GHz, while consuming 0.75× and 0.8× the power respectively for that RTWO frequency.
