This article presents a ring oscillator (RO)-based all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) that is implemented with a high-gain analog closed loop for supply noise compensation (ACSC). The ACSC not only allows high-frequency oscillation of the RO but also is robust over process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations thanks to its replica-based configuration. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis of the noise contribution of the ACSC is conducted for the ADPLL to retain its low-jitter output. Implemented in 40-nm CMOS technology, the ADPLL, with a 1.1-V supply, achieves an rms jitter of 289 fs at 8 GHz without any injected supply noise. Under a 20- $\text{m}\textrm {V}_{\textrm {rms}}$ white supply noise, the ADPLL gives rms jitters of 8.7 and 0.63 ps at 8 GHz when the ACSC is disabled and enabled, respectively. The overall power consumption and the area of the presented ADPLL are 9.48 mW and 0.055 $\textrm {mm} {^{\mathrm{ 2}}}$ , respectively.
