Abstract: An atomic clock is provided. An output of a tunable LO is coupled to a user output of the atomic clock. A charge pump adjusts the tunable LO with a LO tuning voltage. A follower circuit sets an output frequency of the atomic clock to a frequency of an external reference signal coupled to an external reference input. An atom referenced circuit sets the output frequency of the atomic clock to a frequency based on stored operating settings. A controller stores then current operating settings generated based on a then current external reference signal coupled to the external reference input. The controller is further configured to apply the stored then current operating settings to the atom referenced circuit when the then current external reference signal is removed from the external reference input to maintain the output frequency of the atomic clock at the output frequency set by the follower circuit.

Abstract: A synchronization signal generation circuit and a synchronization method among a plurality of devices are proposed. The synchronization signal generation circuit includes a clock signal generator and a controller. The clock signal generator generates a reference clock signal. The controller receives an input clock signal from a host end device and generates a plurality of candidate clock signals through a plurality of counting operations based on the reference clock signal. The controller selectively transmits one of the candidate clock signals to each peripheral device according to request information corresponding to each peripheral device. The candidate clock signals and the input clock signal have mutually aligned start time points in each frame period.

Abstract: A method of processing a data stream includes taking a first number of samples of the data stream using a sampling clock over a first observation window and storing a stored data stream including the first number of samples in a data buffer. A length of the first observation window is determined by a reference clock. A measured number of cycles of the sampling clock are determined from the first number of samples. An error between an expected number of cycles of the sampling clock and the measured number of cycles of the sampling clock in the observation window is measured. The stored data stream corresponding to the first observation window is updated to contain a second number of samples by correcting the first number of samples with the error.

Abstract: A sensor network, which includes a sensor controller serially coupled to a plurality of sensor modules, is configured to program the sensor modules so as to transfer measurement data to the sensor controller and to synchronize the sensor modules to picosecond accuracy via on-chip or on-module custom circuits and a physical layer protocol. The sensor network has applications for use in PET, LiDAR or FLIM applications. Synchronization, within picosecond accuracy, is achieved through use of a picosecond time digitization circuit. Specifically, the picosecond time digitization circuit is used to measure on-chip delays with high accuracy and precision. The delay measurements are directly comparable between separate chips even with voltage and temperature variations between chips.

Abstract: An adaptive voltage converter adapted to compensate for the exponential sensitivities of sub-threshold and near-threshold circuits. The converter can change its power/performance characteristics between different energy modes. The converter may comprise two or more voltage converters/regulators. A multiplexing circuit selects between the outputs of the several converters/regulators depending on the state of a control signal generated by a control facility. The converter is specially adapted to change the output of each converter/regulator based on a number of variables, including, for example, process corner, temperature and input voltage.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a local clock is synchronized to a master clock using a Kalman filter to determine state variables using a state transition matrix that includes at least one coefficient that is associated with a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), where the state variables include a unit step variable indicative of a unit step for the system. The local clock is controlled based on the state variables determined using the Kalman filter. The unit step is indicative of an amount by which the frequency of the local clock signal changes in response to a change in the digital input of the DAC.

Abstract: Described is a digital fractional phase locked loop (DFPLL) with a current mode low pass filter. The DFPLL includes a binary phase frequency detector (BPFD) configured to output a directional pulse based on comparison of a reference clock and a feedback clock, a current mode low pass filter connected to the BPFD, and a current controlled oscillator (CCO) connected to the current mode low pass filter. The current mode low pass filter configured to output a control current based on at least the directional pulse when a current steering switch directly controlled by the directional pulse switches to the CCO. The CCO configured to adjust a frequency of the CCO based on the control current to generate an output clock. The feedback clock based on the output clock and the reference clock aligned with the feedback clock by adjusting the frequency of the output clock until frequency and phase lock.

Abstract: A receiver includes: an A/D converter that performs an analog digital conversion of an input signal; an equalizer that equalizes an output from the A/D converter, eliminates inter code interference and obtains a data output; a timing recovery part that generates a recovery clock from the data output of the equalizer; a detector that detects the timing when an input signal varies from a no-signal state and has reached a predetermined threshold; and an initial phase setting part that sets as the initial phase of the recovery clock by the timing recovery part, a timing when the predetermined time has elapsed after the timing detected by the detector.
