Abstract: A receiver is provided that includes a time-to-digital converter for converting a phase difference between a clock signal and a received data signal into a phase-difference digital code. The receiver also includes a logic circuit that controls a programmable delay line to delay the clock signal into a delayed clock signal by a delay that is responsive to a difference between the phase-difference code and a unit interval for the clock signal. The delayed clock signal clocks a flip-flop to register the received data signal.

Abstract: A phase lock loop (PLL) circuit includes a selection mode device before a phase detector and time-to-digital converter (TDC). In a first mode, the selection mode device outputs two signals having consecutive rising edges that are spaced apart in time by substantially one period of the reference clock signal. In a second mode, the selection mode device outputs two signals having consecutive rising edges that are spaced apart in time by substantially one period of the feedback clock signal. In a third mode, the selection mode device outputs the reference and feedback clock signals. The phase detector and TDC are configured to generate a signal: indicating the reference clock frequency in the first mode; indicating of the feedback clock frequency in the second mode; and indicating a phase/frequency difference between the feedback and reference clocks in the third mode. These signals are used to control a VCO clock signal.

Abstract: A phase interpolator is provided with a plurality of slices. Each slice includes a first switch for mixing a first clock signal into an interpolated output signal and a second switch for mixing a second clock signal into the interpolated output signal.
