摘要: A system and method for correcting for phase errors, in a phase locked loop, resulting from spread spectrum clocking involving a reference clock signal having a frequency modulation. A correction generation circuit generates an offset signal, that when injected after the charge pump of the phase locked loop, causes the voltage controlled oscillator to produce a signal with substantially the same frequency modulation, thereby reducing the phase error. The correction generation circuit may include a timing estimation circuit for estimating the times at which transitions (between positive-sloping and negative-sloping portions of the triangle wave) occur, and an amplitude estimation circuit for estimating the amplitude of the offset signal that results in a reduction in the phase error.

摘要: Dual gate FD-SOI transistors are used as MOSFET capacitors to replace passive well capacitors in analog microcircuits. Use of the dual gate FD-SOI devices helps to reduce unstable oscillations and improve circuit performance. A thick buried oxide layer within the substrate of an FD-SOI transistor forms a capacitive dielectric that can sustain high operating voltages in the range of 1.2 V-3.3 V, above the transistor threshold voltage. A secondary gate in the FD-SOI transistor is used to create a channel from the back side so that even when the bias voltage on the first gate is small, the effective capacitance remains higher. The capacitance of the buried oxide layer is further utilized as a decoupling capacitor between supply and ground. In one example, a dual gate PMOS FD-SOI transistor is coupled to an operational amplifier and a high voltage output driver to produce a precision-controlled voltage reference generator. In another example, two dual gate PMOS and one dual gate NMOS FD-SOI transistor are coupled to a charge pump, a phase frequency detector, and a current-controlled oscillator to produce a high-performance phase locked loop circuit in which the decoupling capacitor footprint is smaller, in comparison to the conventional usage of passive well capacitance.

摘要: An example phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a digital filter, an oscillator, and a time-to-digital converter (TDC). The digital filter is configured to sample at a discrete time that is responsive to a reference clock signal received at the digital filter. The oscillator is coupled to the digital filter and configured to generate an output signal of the PLL. The TDC is coupled to the oscillator to determine a phase difference between the output signal and the reference clock signal. The TDC also provides a time signal to the digital filter that is based on the phase difference and is representative of an instantaneous rate of operation of the PLL. The digital filter is further configured to adjust a response characteristic of the digital filter according to the time signal.

摘要: Embodiments related to systems, methods, and computer-readable media to enable a digital phase locked loop are described. In one embodiment, a digital synthesizer comprises a digital phase locked loop with detection circuitry to calculate an estimate of a magnitude and a phase of a spurious response from an error signal within the digital phase locked loop. The digital phase locked loop further comprises generation circuitry to generate an inverse spur based on the estimate of the magnitude and the phase, and further comprises injection circuitry to inject the inverse spur into the digital phase locked loop. In some embodiments, least mean squares (LMS), recursive least squares (RLS), or other such adaptation is used to estimate the magnitude and phase of the spurious response.
