    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to quadrature clock generation with injection locking. In accordance with one aspect, quadrature clock generation with injection locking uses a digital calibration circuit having a coarse calibration circuit and a fine calibration circuit to perform a coarse frequency calibration of a controlled oscillator, wherein the controlled oscillator is coupled to the digital calibration circuit; characterize a replica oscillator signal path associated with an oscillator replica circuit, wherein the oscillator replica circuit is coupled to the controlled oscillator; perform a fine frequency calibration of the controlled oscillator by measuring a phase difference between the controlled oscillator and the oscillator replica circuit; and generate a calibrated set of quadrature clock signals after performing the fine frequency calibration of the controlled oscillator.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, method for frequency division comprises propagating a modulus signal up a chain of cascaded divider stages from a last one of the divider stages to a first one of the divider stages, and, for each of the divider stages, generating a respective local load signal when the modulus signal propagates out of the divider stage. The method also comprises, for each of the divider stages, inputting one or more respective control bits to the divider stage based on the respective local load signal, the one or more respective control bits setting a divider value of the divider stage.
