Abstract: A simple new phase frequency detector and charge pump design are presented in this paper. The proposed PFD uses only 4 transistors and preserves the main characteristics of the conventional PFD. Both PFD and charge pump are implemented using cadence 0.18 μm CMOS Process. The maximum frequency of operation is 5 GHz when operating at 1.8V voltage supply. It has free dead zone. It can be used in high speed and low power consumption applications. This makes the proposed PFD more suitable to low jitter applications.

Keywords: PFD, PLL, High speed.
