This paper presents a fully integrated carrier clock recovery circuit for a mobile payment application. The architecture is based on a sampling-detection module and a charge pump phase locked loop. Compared with clock recovery in conventional 13.56 MHz transponders, this circuit can recover a high-precision consecutive carrier clock from the on/off keying (OOK) signal sent by interrogators. Fabricated by a SMIC 0.18-m EEPROM CMOS process, this chip works from a single power supply as low as 1.5 V. Measurement results show that this circuit provides 0.34% frequency deviation and 8 mV sensitivity.
