N2 - This paper reviews the approach of using a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) to generate high-resolution, fast switching frequencies for modem communication systems. Because these systems are required to have high speed and/or low power requirements, optimizing the phase accumulator (PA) component is a crucial design step. A mathematical model for estimating the speed-power tradeoffs of pipelined PAs will be presented. Simulations based on this model show that pipelining the PA to the maximum allowable number of stages provides the smallest latency, but at power consumptions significantly higher than a non-pipelined PA. The model can be used to estimate the optimal number of pipeline stages for given speed-power constraints.
