Radiation-Tolerant All-Digital PLL/CDR with Varactorless LC DCO in 65 nm CMOS

This paper presents the first fully integrated radiation-tolerant All-Digital Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) and Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) circuit for wireline communication applications. Several radiation hardening techniques are proposed to achieve state-of-the-art immunity to Single-Event Effects (S...
