Prof. Zunsong Yang
Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
Speech Title: Low-Jitter and Low-Spur Sampling-Type Phase-Locked Loops
Abstract: Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is a key building block in both wireless and wireline systems. As their data throughput increases, the PLL jitter requirements become more stringent, pushing sampling-type PLLs to be popular due to their ability to achieve low in-band phase noise. In this report, different techniques will be discussed to greatly improve the jitter and spur performances of the sampling-type PLLs without compromising the jitter-power figure of merit.
Biography: Zunsong Yang received the B.E. degree in microelectronics from Qingdao University, Qingdao, China, in 2014, the M.E. degree in electronics and communications engineering from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), Beijing, China, in 2017, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Macau, Macao, China, in 2021. From 2021 to 2023, he was a Project Researcher with The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, where he worked on the design of low-jitter RF/mmW PLLs. Since 2023, he has been a Professor with the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMECAS), Beijing, China.
His current research interests include frequency synthesizers, RF and mixed-signal integrated circuits for communications and radars.
Dr. Yang was a recipient of the Akrostar Academic Prize from the University of Macau in 2021 and served as a Session Chair for IEEE ISCAS in 2024. He is currently serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Solid-State Circuits Letters.
