Fractional-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$N$ </tex-math></inline-formula> frequency synthesizers that use a digital <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Delta $ </tex-math></inline-formula>&#x2013;<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Sigma $ </tex-math></inline-formula> modulator (DDSM) to control the feedback divider can exhibit spurious tones that move about in the frequency domain; these are known colloquially as &#x201C;walking&#x201D; or wandering spurs. Building upon a theoretical explanation of the origin of wandering spurs, this article presents two methods to suppress them. It describes a 4.9-GHz 180-nm SiGe BiCMOS charge-pump phase-locked loop (CP-PLL) fractional-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$N$ </tex-math></inline-formula> frequency synthesizer platform with a divider controller that can function as: 1) a standard MASH 1-1-1; 2) a MASH 1-1-1 with high-amplitude dither; and 3) a MASH 1-1-1 with a modified third stage. Measurements confirm the effectiveness of the wandering spur suppression strategies.
