    摘要: A phase locked loop circuit is disclosed. The phase locked loop circuit includes a ring oscillator. The phase locked loop circuit also includes a digital path including a digital phase detector. The phase locked loop circuit further includes an analog path including a linear phase detector. Additionally, the phase locked loop circuit includes a feedback path connecting an output of the ring oscillator to an input of the digital path and an input of the analog path. The digital path and the analog path are parallel paths. The digital path provides a digital tuning signal the ring oscillator that digitally controls a frequency of the ring oscillator. The analog path provides an analog tuning signal the ring oscillator that continuously controls the frequency of the ring oscillator.

    摘要: Bipolar transistor structures, methods of designing and fabricating bipolar transistors, methods of designing circuits having bipolar transistors. The method of designing the bipolar transistor includes: selecting an initial design of a bipolar transistor; scaling the initial design of the bipolar transistor to generate a scaled design of the bipolar transistor; determining if stress compensation of the scaled design of the bipolar transistor is required based on dimensions of an emitter of the bipolar transistor after the scaling; and if stress compensation of the scaled design of the bipolar transistor is required then adjusting a layout of a trench isolation layout level of the scaled design relative to a layout of an emitter layout level of the scaled design to generate a stress compensated scaled design of the bipolar transistor.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a design structure and method for compensating for a change in frequency of oscillation (FOO) of an LC-tank VCO that includes a first node; second node; inductor; first capacitive network (FCN) that allows the design structure to obtain a target FOO; compensating capacitive (CCN) network that compensates for a change in the design structure's FOO; second capacitive network (SCN) that allows the design structure to obtain a desired FOO; a filter that supplies a voltage to the SCN and is coupled to the SCN; a transconductor that compensates for a change in the design structure's FOO; and a sub-circuit coupled to the SCN that generates and supplies voltage to the CCN sufficient to allow the CCN to compensate for a reduction in the design structure's FOO. The first and second nodes are coupled to the inductor, FCN, CCN, SCN, and sub-circuit.
