TL;DR: The first all-digital PLL and polar transmitter for mobile phones is presented, exploiting the new paradigm of a deep-submicron CMOS process environment by leveraging on the fast switching times of MOS transistors, the fine lithography and the precise device matching, while avoiding problems related to the limited voltage headroom.

TL;DR: A 20-ps time-to-digital converter (TDC) realized in 90-nm digital CMOS is used as a phase/frequency detector and charge pump replacement in an all-digital phase-locked loop for a fully-compliant Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) transceiver.

TL;DR: A 1.2V 42mA all-digital PLL and polar transmitter for a single-chip GSM/EDGE transceiver is implemented in 90nm CMOS and achieves -165dBc/Hz phase noise at 20MHz offset, with 10 /spl mu/s settling time.

TL;DR: The receiver in the first single-chip GSM/GPRS transceiver that incorporates full integration of quad-band receiver, transmitter, memory, power management, dedicated ARM processor and RF built-in self test in a 90-nm digital CMOS process is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel time-to-digital converter (TDC) is used as a phase/frequency detector and charge pump replacement in an all-digital PLL within a digital radio processor.
