    Abstract: A switched capacitor circuit includes a first capacitor coupled in series with a second capacitor in a first mode of operation across differential output terminals of a circuit. The first capacitor and the second capacitor are coupled in an anti-parallel layout in a second mode of operation. The switched capacitor circuit also includes a third capacitor coupled on a first side to a common node of the first capacitor and the second capacitor. The third capacitor is further coupled on a second side to a current source control voltage in the first mode of operation, and coupled between a bias reference voltage and a common mode reference voltage in the second mode of operation.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for implementing a fully differential charge pump circuit that eliminates a source of noise and power consumption by using a low-noise switched-capacitor common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit, rather than a continuous-time amplifier-based CMFB circuit. The fully differential charge pump circuit presented in this disclosure includes the switched-capacitor CMFB (SC-CMFB) unit connected to differential output nodes of the charge pump and provides a feedback signal to the charge pump to control a common-mode voltage of the differential signals based on a reference common-mode voltage. In certain aspects, a replica phase-frequency detector (PFD), a frequency divider, and a non-overlapping clock generator provides control signals for the SC-CMFB circuit.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a relatively compact frequency-locked loop (FLL) using a discrete-time integrator. For certain aspects, the FLL also includes a supplemental oscillator and other circuitry that allows for saving the FLL frequency when a reference clock will be disconnected, maintaining a similar frequency during disconnection, and restoring the FLL frequency when the reference clock is reconnected. One example FLL circuit generally includes: an encoder; a combiner comprising a first input coupled to an output of the encoder; a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) comprising an input coupled to an output of the combiner; a discrete-time integrator comprising an input coupled to an output of the DAC; a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) comprising a control input coupled to an output of the discrete-time integrator; and a counter comprising an input coupled to an output of the VCO and comprising an output coupled to a second input of the combiner.

    Abstract: A bias current circuit is provided with a bias circuit that generates a bias voltage to control the resistance of an active resistor transistor. The bias circuit is configured to generate the bias voltage to be greater than one-half of a power supply voltage for the current bias circuit and to have a negative temperature dependency to reduce the temperature sensitivity of the bias current circuit.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a high-speed AC-coupled inverter-based buffer, which may be used as a buffer for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), for example. One example buffer for a VCO generally includes a first inverter stage having an input node configured to receive a first complementary signal of a differential pair, a second inverter stage having an input node configured to receive a second complementary signal of the differential pair, a biasing stage replicating the first inverter stage or the second inverter stage, wherein an output node of the biasing stage is connected with an input node of the biasing stage, a first impedance coupled between the input node of the first inverter stage and the input node of the biasing stage, and a second impedance coupled between the input node of the second inverter stage and the input node of the biasing stage.
