Miller compensation of feedback loops is ubiquitous. And it’s everywhere. Which is to say it’s widespread. Pervasive even. One could go so far as to say it’s omnipresent. But no matter how you say it, it’s hard to avoid the name Miller when talking about frequency compensation of feedback loops. (IEEE Xplore lists 83 papers with “Miller Compensation” in the title alone.)

Frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar sensors enable the simultaneous measurement of the range and velocity of a target. In a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration, FMCW radar enables angle estimation [1], [2]. Today, automotive FMCW radar sensors in the 76–81-GHz band [1] and indoor short-range sensors in the 57–64-GHz band [3], [4] are commercialized.

This article provides a tutorial on digital-to-time converters (DTC), which are the core blocks of many electronic applications. Common DTC circuit topologies and major DTC timing errors are explained in detail. Various advanced DTC circuit design and calibration techniques are elaborated and demonstrated in the examples of using DTCs for high-performance CMOS fractional-N synthesizers. These techniques can be used to design DTCs for other applications as well.

A PLL is one of the most ubiquitous components in modern ICs and often used for clock generation and frequency synthesis. Figure 1 shows a classical PLL architecture. It consists of a VCO locked to a reference clock by a feedback loop with a PFD, a charge pump (CP), a loop filter (LF), and a frequency divider with ratio N (÷N). The RMS jitter ${sigma}_{t}$ and power consumption P are critical performance parameters for a PLL design.
