This paper presents a low power integer-N synthesizer with an output frequency of 2.3 GHz. The complete PLL has been integrated in a 90 nm CMOS technology and operates from a 1 V supply voltage. The synthesizer has been optimized for power consumption by employing an efficient quadrature VCO and a phase-switching prescaler. It achieves a phase noise of -121 dBc/Hz @3MHz while consuming only 350 μW in the PLL core. The typical reference spur level is about -40 dBc.
