摘要: An all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) receives an analog input supply voltage which is utilized to operate analog circuitry within the ADPLL. The ADPLL of the present disclosure scales this analog input supply voltage to provide a digital input supply voltage which is utilized to operate digital circuitry within the ADPLL. The analog circuitry includes a time-to-digital converter (TDC) to measure phase errors within the ADPLL. The TDC can be characterized as having a resolution of the TDC which is dependent, at least in part, upon the digital input supply voltage. In some situations, process, voltage, and/or temperature (PVT) variations within the ADPLL can cause the digital input supply voltage to fluctuate, which in turn, can cause fluctuations in the resolution of the TDC. These fluctuations in the resolution of the TDC can cause in-band phase noise of the ADPLL to vary across the PVT variations. The digital circuitry regulates the digital input supply voltage to stabilize the resolution of the TDC across the PVT variations. This stabilization of the resolution of the TDC can cause the ADPLL to maintain a fixed in-band phase noise across the PVT variations.

摘要: An ultra-low-power receiver includes a low-noise amplifier configured to receive an input analog signal and generate an amplified signal and a mixer electrically coupled to the low-noise amplifier. The mixer is configured to convert said amplified signal into an intermediate frequency signal. A progressively reduced intermediate frequency filter is configured to process the intermediate frequency signal from the mixer in discrete time.
