Abstract: A simple new Phase Frequency Detector design is presented in this paper. The PFD which helps Delay Locked Loop (DLL) to achieve simultaneous phase and frequency error detection is an indispensable block and plays an important role in improving the performance of the whole DLL system. Both conventional and improved PFDs are implemented using tanner 0.18 μm CMOS Process. The layouts are also designed using Tanner Tool. The maximum frequency of operation is 1 GHz when operating at 1.8V voltage supply. It can be used in DLL for high speed and low power consumption applications.
