Re: Which process is better for designing frequency synthesi
Phase noise will be greatly influenced by the inductor Q. Figure out which one will give you the best inductor Q, and that should answer your question.
CLose in, 1/f noise will contribute to phase Noise. Larger feature sizes tend to have better 1/f noise, so I'd look hard at the 0.35 um size. I suspect that better inductor Q would be better than lower 1/f noise, so push that instead.
The area is mainly decided by the large capacitor of the loop filter. Then in different feature size, are the area of the capacitors the same if their values are equal?
Thanks!
