System and method for fast converging reference clock duty cycle correction for digital to time converter (DTC)-based analog fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL)
Abstract:
A system and method for fast converging reference clock duty cycle correction for a digital to time converter (DTC) based analog fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) are herein disclosed. According to one embodiment, an electronic circuit includes a clock doubler, a comparator that outputs a value representing a difference between a voltage at a voltage-to-current (Gm) circuit and a reference voltage that is adjusted to compensate for an offset of the comparator, and a duty cycle calibration circuit that receives the value output from the comparator and adjusts a duty cycle of the PLL by extracting an error from the value output from the comparator and delaying a clock edge of the duty cycle according to the extracted error.
