Divide-by-three frequency dividers, based on a parallel injection, are analyzed and the actual locking phenomenon underlying their operation is shown. Analytical results allow us to predict the output steady-states and the locking range in terms of the circuit parameters, thus obtaining useful design insights. The derived results are shown to be very close to SPICE simulation results for a 0.13um RF-CMOS process.

We compare the main analytical results available to estimate the locking range, which is the key figure-of-merit of LC frequency dividers based on the injection locking phenomenon. Starting from the classical result by Adler concerning injection-locked oscillators, we elucidate the merits and the shortcomings of the different approaches to study injection-locked frequency dividers, with particular emphasis on divider-by-2. In particular, we show the potential of a perturbation approach which enables a more complete analysis of frequency dividers, making it possible to calculate not only the amplitude and the phase of the locked oscillation, but also the region where it exists and is stable, which defines the locking region. Finally, we analyze the dynamical behaviour of the dividers in the vicinity of the boundary of the locking region, showing that there exists a border region where the occurrence of the locking or the pulling operation mode is possible, depending on the initial conditions of the system.

Summary A novel wide locking range divide‐by‐2 injection‐locked frequency divider (ILFD) is proposed in the paper and was implemented in the TSMC 0.18‐µm 1P6M CMOS process. The divide‐by‐2 ILFD is based on a cross‐coupled voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) with an LC resonator and injection MOSFETs with source voltage coupled from ILFD output, and the injection MOSFET mixer is biased in subthreshold region. At the drain–source bias of 0.9 V, and at the incident power of 0 dBm the locking range of the divide‐by‐2 ILFD is 6.4 GHz; from the incident frequency 3.7 GHz to 10.1 GHz, the percentage is 92.75%. The core power consumption is 16.56 mW. The die area is 0.839 × 0.566 mm2. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
