Abstract
A digital-to-time converter (DTC) of a fractional-n PLL contains a delay generator and a current-drawing block. The current drawn by the delay generator from the power supply contains: (A) a fixed component having a first current magnitude regardless of magnitude of a second code specifying the desired delay; and (B) a variable component having a magnitude determined only by magnitude of the second code. The current-drawing block draws correction-current from the power supply, whose magnitude is determined only by a complement of the second code.
