A TDC-less, ultra-low area and low power all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) has been designed for use in biomedical implant transceivers. The proposed ADPLL eliminates the use of LC oscillator and time-to-digital converter (TDC) for achieving a low power and low area implementation suitable for b...
