    摘要: A phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit, sense amplifier circuit, and method of operating a sense amplifier circuit are disclosed. The sense amplifier circuit comprises first and second operational amplifiers, each operational amplifier respectively comprising a non-inverting input terminal, an inverting input terminal, and an output stage comprising a current gating circuit having two current gating input terminals, the output stage coupled with an output terminal, the output terminal providing a feedback signal to the inverting input terminal. The input voltage signal is received across the non-inverting input terminals of the first and second operational amplifiers, and is received across the two current gating input terminals of each of the first and second operational amplifiers, wherein the sense amplifier circuit generates a sense voltage signal across the output terminals of the first and second operational amplifiers.

    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: 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.
