This assignment focuses on designing transfer functions for a CDR using MATLAB, with specific tasks related to phase noise and jitter calculations based on transition density. Students are required to analyze spectral densities due to various components and adjust parameters to meet jitter contribution requirements. Additionally, the assignment includes determining maximum parasitic capacitance to limit peaking in the output signal.

Transition density is 0.5 unless otherwise mentioned. Use models from the previous assignment as required. To design
the transfer functions as required, you can simulate the transfer function in MATLAB or an equivalent tool and adjust
the parameters (poles, zeros) to get the desired results (e.g. amount of peaking). freqs is a useful command in
MATLAB. You can use the relationships in the first assignment to calculate the integrals.

1. For the CDR using the delay line in the previous assignment, for transition density of 1 (note that, the charge
pump is also on for the same fraction of time as the transition density, and its spectral density must be multiplied
by the transition density), determine the single-sided spectral densities of phase noise due to Icp (assume that
Icp is realized using a MOS current source with overdrive VGS − VT = 0.1 V). Give the expression for phase
noise due to Icp , plot it, and find the rms integrated jitter in picoseconds.

2. For the CDR using the VCO in the previous assignment, for transition density of 0.5 (note that, the charge pump
is also on for the same fraction of time as the transition density, and its spectral density must be multiplied by the
transition density), determine the phase noise spectral density due to (a) R, (b) Icp (assume that Icp is realized
using a MOS current source with overdrive VGS − VT = 0.2 V), (c) VCO (assume that L(f ) = 100/f 2 where
f is in Hz). Give the expressions for the individual spectral densities. Plot the spectral densities individually
and their sum, all on the same axis. Determine the jitter by integrating the spectral density from 0 to ∞. Again,
compute the jitter from each of the three contributors separately, and also the total jitter.

3. With the VCO being the same as above, adjust the values of Icp , R, and C such that the transfer function
remains the same as above, but, in the total jitter (variance), the VCO’s contribution is 50% and Icp and R
together contribute the remaining 50%. Again, plot the individual and total spectral densities, and give the
individual and total jitter contributions.

4. For the CDR designed above (after scaling for noise), determine the maximum parasitic capacitance from the
VCO’s control input to ground such that, for alternating input data, the peaking in |ϕout /ϕin | is ≤ 2 dB.
