This paper presents a fully synthesizable phaselocked loop (PLL) based on injection locking, with an interpolative phase-coupled oscillator, a current output digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and a fine resolution digital varactor. All circuits that make up the PLL are designed and implemented using digital standard cells without any modification, and automatically Place-and-routed (P&R) by a digital design flow without any manual placement. Implemented in a 65 nm digital CMOS process, this work occupies only 110 mu m x 60 mu m layout area, which is the smallest PLL reported so far to the best knowledge of the authors. The measurement results show that this work achieves a 1.7 ps RMS jitter at 900 MHz output frequency while consuming 780 mu W DC power.
