Fast settling phase locked loops (PLLs) play a pivotal role in many applications requiring rapid attainment of a stable frequency and phase. In modern communication standards, these PLLs are extensively utilized to guarantee precise compliance with dynamic resource allocation requirements. In processors, these PLLs manage dynamic voltage frequency scaling. Moreover, the fast-settling PLLs expedite the scanning of frequency spectra in sophisticated electronic radar set-ups, proving particularly advantageous for imaging and scanning radar applications. The rapid response exhibited by these PLLs is also harnessed in quantum technologies, catering to the urgent need for precise frequency adjustments to manipulate qubit states effectively. The strategies employed to attain fast-settling PLLs are primarily classified into five broad techniques in this article: enhanced phase frequency detection, hybrid multiple subsystems, VCO start-up, gear shift, and look-up table or finite state machine. This article explores the fundamental operational principles encompassing these techniques and presents optimal settling times for each method reported in the literature. Finally, the architectures utilizing these techniques will be evaluated based on their figure of merit (FoM), settling time, and tuning range.

The fact that VCO-ADCs produce noise-shaped quantization noise suggests that a link between frequency modulation and Sigma-Delta modulation should exist. The connection between a VCO-ADC and a first-order Sigma-Delta modulator has been already explained using Pulse Frequency Modulation. In this article, we attempt to extend this explanation to a generic Sigma-Delta modulator. We show that the link between Sigma-Delta modulation and Pulse Frequency Modulation relies in a sampling invariance property that defines the equivalence between both entities. This equivalence property, allows to go beyond the white quantization noise model of a Sigma-Delta modulator, revealing the origin of some nonlinear phenomena. We first predict spurious tones which cannot be explained by circuit non linearity. Multi-bit and single-bit modulators are shown to belong to a same generic class of systems. Finally, quantizer overload is analyzed using our model. The results are applied to Continuous-Time Sigma-Delta modulators of orders one, two and three and then extended to a generic case.

The challenges of conventional semiconducting electronics, such as dark silicon, memory wall, and stagnant clock frequency motivate the search for alternative computing technologies. Superconductive electronics (SCE) represents one of the most advanced beyond-CMOS technologies, with the potential of revolutionizing high-performance computing. In this review, the advancements of SCE over the past 25 years are presented. Novel logic families, circuit design techniques, and electronic design automation tools for SCE circuits are described. Eventually, future advancements in SCE are discussed from circuit and system design perspective.
