A 1.1GHz fractional-N frequency synthesizer implemented in 0.5 um CMOS uses a 3b 3rd-order [Sigma][Delta] modulator that exhibits less sensitivity to phase detector nonlinearity. Synthesizing 900MHz with 1Hz resolution, it exhibits an in-band phase noise of -92dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset with <-95dBc spur. The 11mm 2 chip dissipates 11mA from 2.5V.
