    摘要: The present invention discloses a clock data recovery method having quick locking and bandwidth stabilizing mechanism used in a clock data recovery circuit. A relative position relation between a serial data and a sampling clock is detected by a phase detection circuit in an adaptive control period to generate a tracking direction. The tracking direction of a first clock period is directly outputted as an adaptive tracking direction by an adaptive tracking circuit. For each of the clock periods behind the first clock period, a previous tracking direction is replaced by a current tracking direction only when the current tracking direction exists and is different from the previous tracking direction of a previous clock period such that an actual tracking direction is generated when the adaptive tracking direction changes. The phase of the sampling clock is adjusted according to the actual tracking direction by a clock control circuit.

    摘要: A phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a phase-frequency detector that compares a reference signal to a feedback signal. The difference in phase between the reference signal and the feedback signal is encoded as digital pulses on one or more outputs of the phase-frequency detector. The digital output pulses from the phase-frequency detector are duplicated and delayed multiple times in a non-overlapping manner before being input to the loop filter or voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) of the PLL.

    摘要: A power converter device is provided. A feedback circuit outputs a comparison output signal. A phase-locked loop circuit provides a phase-locked signal according to a reference clock signal and an inductor voltage in a power converter circuit. An on-time circuit provides an on-time comparing signal according to the phase-locked signal, an input voltage, the inductor voltage and an output voltage of the power converter circuit. A first input terminal of an SR flip-flop receives the on-time comparing signal from the on-time circuit. A second input terminal of the SR flip-flop receives the comparison output signal from the feedback circuit. A frequency control circuit, according to changes in the input voltage and the output voltage of the power converter circuit, instantaneously adjusts the on-time of the on-time comparing signal such that an output terminal of the SR flip-flop outputs the adjusted on-time signal to the power converter circuit.
