    Abstract: A circuit includes a reset circuit, a counter and a comparator. The reset circuit generates a reset signal based on a reference signal and a controlled signal. The reference signal and the controlled signal are to be sent to the TDC for detection of phase difference. The counter counts to a predetermined value associated with the reference signal and the controlled signal, and is reset to an initial value in response to the reset signal. The comparator compares a count from the counter and the predetermined value, and generates a mask signal when a count from the counter equals the predetermined value. The mask signal masks a portion of pulses of the controlled signal from entering the TDC.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a digitally controlled oscillator includes a first oscillator a second oscillator and a switch. The second oscillator is selectively enabled in response to a controlled signal. The switch is coupled between the first oscillator and the second oscillator and is selectively conducted in response to the controlled signal, so that an oscillator signal is provided by the first oscillator when the switch is not conducted, and provided by the first oscillator and the second oscillator when the switch is conducted.

    Abstract: A time-to-digital converter (TDC) comprises a TDC core and a masking circuit. The TDC core is configured to detect phase difference between a reference signal and a controlled signal. The masking circuit is configured to generate a mask signal based on the reference signal, the controlled signal, and a command signal including information of a predetermined value associated with the reference signal and the controlled signal. The mask signal is used to mask a portion of pulses of the controlled signal from entering the TDC core during detection of phase difference.
