    Abstract: A phase-locked loop is provided. The phase-locked loop includes a first loop including a con-trolled oscillator and a phase detector. The controlled oscillator is configured to generate an oscillation signal. The phase detector is configured to generate first signal indicative of a timing difference between a reference signal and the oscillation signal. Further, the phase-locked-loop includes a second loop configured to generate a second signal indicative of a timing error of the oscillation signal's cycle time, and to generate a correction signal based on the second signal. The phase-locked loop additionally includes a combiner configured to generate a control signal for the controlled oscillator by combining the correction signal and a third signal derived from the first signal.

    Abstract: A digital phase lock loop (DPLL) device or system can operate to analyze and estimate a deterministic jitter in the digital domain, while correcting for it in the analog domain. A reference oscillator can provide an analog reference signal to the DPLL via a reference path. A shaper of the reference path can process the analog reference signal and provide a digital signal to a doubler component that doubles the frequency for a digital reference signal. The doubler component itself can add deterministic jitter to the noise of the digital reference signal it provides to the DPLL. An estimation of the DPLL performs various calibration processes to determine the deterministic jitter in the digital domain and provide an analog bias signal to the signal shaper component to correct for the deterministic jitter, keeping it at around zero.
