摘要: In a calibrated phase-locked loop (PLL), a time-to-digital (TDC) converter circuit can be calibrated to a nominal gain by a calibration circuit to achieve a desired jitter response in the PLL. The TDC circuit in the PLL measures a time difference between the reference clock and a feedback signal as a number of time increments, and the calibration circuit adjusts a resolution of the measurement by adjusting the length of the time increments (i.e., resolution). In a Vernier method employed to measure the time difference, the length of a time increment is determined by a delay difference between a first delay of a first delay circuit in a first series of first delay circuits and a second delay of a second delay circuit in a second series of second delay circuits. Adjusting the resolution of the TDC circuit includes adjusting the delay difference between the first delay and the second delay.

摘要: A clock recovery circuit includes a frequency tracking loop including a first charge pump, and a phase tracking loop including a second charge pump. A voltage-controlled oscillator responds to the frequency tracking loop in a first operating mode and to the phase tracking loop in a second operating mode. A lock detector outputs an activation signal that indicates whether the clock recovery circuit has acquired frequency lock. A loop filter coupled to an input of the voltage-controlled oscillator includes a switchable resistor and a programmable delay element responsive to the activation signal. The first charge pump is disabled when the activation signal indicates frequency lock has been acquired, and disabled when the activation signal indicates frequency lock has not been acquired. The switchable resistor is bypassed when an output of the programmable delay element is in the first signaling state.

摘要: A clock system and a memory are disclosed. The clock system includes a system on chip (SoC) configured to generate a first oscillation signal, a second oscillation signal, a third oscillation signal and a fourth oscillation signal of a same frequency and amplitude. Further, the clock system includes a memory chip configured to output a data signal based on signal edges of the first oscillation signal, the second oscillation signal, the third oscillation signal and the fourth oscillation signal, and output a command/address signal based on the signal edges of the first oscillation signal and the third oscillation signal. The signal edges are rising edges or falling edges.

摘要: A spur measurement system uses a first device with a spur cancellation circuit that cancel spurs responsive to a frequency control word identifying a spurious tone of interest. A device under test generates a clock signal and supplies the clock signal to the first device through an optional divider. The spur cancellation circuit in the first device generates sine and cosine weights at the spurious tone of interest as part of the spur cancellation process. A first magnitude of the spurious tone in a phase-locked loop in the first device is determined according to the sine and cosine weights and a second magnitude of the spurious tone in the clock signal is determined by the first magnitude divided by gains associated with the first device.

摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that can reduce or suppress phase noise in a frequency synthesizer. A phase-noise-suppression system can detect phase noise in an input signal, amplify the detected phase noise, subtract the detected phase noise from the input signal, and provide an output signal having reduced phase noise.

摘要: A digital clean-up oscillator and associated method are provided for cleaning jitter from a noisy clock signal, comprising receiving a reference clock oscillator signal and the noisy clock signal to be cleaned: measuring the frequency of the reference clock signal in the time domain of the noisy clock signal: filtering any frequency variations from the measured frequency of the reference clock signal on timescales shorter than a phase change interval Tau_clean over which jitter in the noisy clock signal is to be cleaned; generating a phase increment signal DDS_pinc based on the measured and filtered frequency of the reference clock signal: clocking the phase increment signal DDS_pinc with the reference clock signal for generating an output digital phase ramp signal φ_DDS(t) that tracks the frequency of the noisy clock signal with phase wander removed on timescales less than the phase change interval Tau_clean; and converting the output digital phase ramp signal φ_DDS(t) to an output jitter-cleaned time domain clock signal frequency locked to the noisy clock signal.

摘要: The techniques described herein relate to systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods for optimum loop gain calibration for clock data recovery and phase locked loop. An example apparatus includes a phase detector with a phase detector output and configured to generate an error signal representative of a difference between an input signal and a feedback signal. The apparatus further includes a calibrator circuit with a calibrator input coupled to the phase detector output and configured to determine correlation value associated with the error signal, and determine a gain value based on an adjustment of an absolute value of the correlation value by a pseudorandom binary sequence signal.

摘要: A phase-locked loop comprises a voltage controlled oscillator. The voltage controlled oscillator comprises an inductor and a capacitor, connected in parallel, and also connected in parallel therewith, a negative resistance structure. A first terminal of the negative resistance structure is connected to respective first terminals of the inductor and the capacitor. A second terminal of the negative resistance structure is connected to respective second terminals of the inductor and the capacitor. The negative resistance structure exhibits a tunable capacitance, such that a frequency of an output of the voltage controlled oscillator can be tuned by a control input signal, and the control input signal is generated in the phase-locked loop. The negative resistance structure comprises first and second transistors. There is a first conduction path between the first terminal of the first transistor and the control terminal of the second transistor, and a second conduction path between the control terminal of the first transistor and the first terminal of the second transistor. The control terminal of at least one of the first and second transistors is biased by the control input signal, such that a parasitic capacitance of said at least one of the first and second transistors can be tuned by the control input signal, in order to tune the frequency of the output of the voltage controlled oscillator, and hence the frequency of oscillation of the phase-locked loop.
