ABSTRACT

After a brief overview of the Communication Technologies Department activities at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, a tutorial on monolithic phase-locked loops and their applications will be presented.  An introduction to exemplary analog and digital PLL implementations will be followed by a review of loop components, PLL modeling techniques, and noise analysis. Finally, state-of-the-art design examples will be given for clock generation, clock recovery, and frequency synthesis applications.

DR. MEHMET SOYUER (IBM Research, Yorktown Heights, NY)

Mehmet Soyuer received the BSEE and MSEE degrees from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey in 1976 and 1978. He received the PhDEE degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1988, subsequently joining IBM at the T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY as a Research Staff Member. His work has involved high-frequency mixed-signal IC designs, in particular monolithic phase-locked-loop designs for clock and data recovery, clock multiplication, and frequency synthesis using silicon and SiGe technologies.  At IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Dr. Soyuer managed the Mixed-Signal Communications Integrated-Circuit Design group from 1997 to 2000. He was the Senior Manager of the Communication Circuits and Systems Department from 2000 to 2006. In 2006, he was promoted to the position of Department Group Manager, Communication Technologies.
Dr. Soyuer has authored numerous papers in the areas of analog, mixed-signal, RF, microwave, and nonlinear electronic circuit design, and he is an inventor and co-inventor of eight U.S. patents. Since 1997, he has been a technical program committee member of ISSCC. He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits from 1998 through 2000, and was one of the Guest Editors for the December 2003 Special ISSCC Issue. Dr. Soyuer chaired the Analog, MEMS and Mixed-Signal Electronics Committee of the International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED) in 2001. He was also a technical program committee member of the Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF) in 2004 and 2006.  He served as an elected member of the Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Administrative Committee (AdCom) for the last three years. Dr. Soyuer is a senior member of IEEE and a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE-SSCS.
