The MASH Digital Delta-Sigma Modulator (DDSM) based divider controller represents a speed bottleneck in state of the art commercial PLL-based fractional-N frequency synthesizers. As next generation systems require higher phase detector frequencies, there is a need to make ever faster divider controllers. This paper describes a fine-grained nested cascaded MASH DDSM which is significantly faster than state of the art divider controllers, thereby eliminating the current speed bottleneck.
