Abstract: A 10GHz FMCW subsampling PLL is presented, that uses a low-power charge-integrating QDAC to tune the VCO for wideband low-noise modulation. Nonlinearities in the QDAC modulation path are corrected within 700µsec cold start-up, followed by a full on-chip background calibration engine to track supply and temperature variations. The PLL consumes 11.7mW (of which <0.5mW in the QDAC) to generate a 23.6MHz/µs chirp slope with 89kHz rms-frequency-error for 1.21GHz chirp-bandwidth.
