    摘要: Systems and methods for delay control are described herein. In one embodiment, a delay system comprises a first delay circuit configured to provide a voltage bias to a second delay circuit, wherein the voltage bias controls a delay of the second delay circuit, and to update the voltage bias at an update rate. The delay system also comprises an update controller configured to adjust the update rate of the first delay circuit. For example, the update controller may adjust the update rate based on timing requirements of a memory interface incorporating the delay system. The update rate may be reduced when the timing requirements are more relaxed to reduce power, and may be increased when the timing requirements are tighter.

    摘要: The embodiments disclose a method and apparatus for implementing the clock holdover in the communication system. The apparatus receives an external source clock and outputs an output clock, and comprises a first phase-locked circuit and a second phase-locked circuit. The first phase-locked circuit is configured for taking the external source clock and a first output clock as input and outputting an intermediate clock, the first output clock is outputted by the second phase-locked circuit and fed back to the first phase-locked circuit. The first phase-locked circuit includes a first digital oscillator, and the first digital oscillator is configured to take the first output clock as a working clock to generate the intermediate clock. The second phase-locked circuit is configured for taking the intermediate clock and a local clock fed by a local oscillator as input, and outputting a second output clock.

    摘要: A system includes a first phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit, a slew rate limiter and a second PLL. The first PLL is configured to receive an input signal, generate a first output identifying a frequency associated with the input signal, and generate a second output identifying phase information associated with the input signal. The slew rate limiter is configured to receive the first output from the first PLL, determine whether the frequency of the first output is changing at greater than a predetermined rate, and generate a first signal indicating whether the frequency is changing at greater than the predetermined rate. The second PLL is configured to receive the first signal from the slew rate limiter, receive the second output from the first PLL, and generate an output signal identifying an angle or phase information based on the first signal and the second output.

    摘要: A supply-regulated VCO exhibits reduced or no supply sensitivity peaking. The VCO includes an oscillator whose supply current is regulated to control the oscillating frequency of the oscillator. A VCO input signal controls the supply current so that there is a relationship between the input signal and the oscillator output frequency. Power supply noise that might otherwise affect oscillator operation is shunted from a supply current input lead of the oscillator to ground by a bypass capacitor. In one example, an auxiliary circuit supplies an auxiliary supply current to the oscillator, thereby reducing the amount of supply current a supply regulation control loop circuit must supply. In another example, a supply regulation control loop circuit supplies a control current to a main oscillator, but the bypass capacitor is not coupled to this oscillator but rather is coupled to a slave oscillator that is injection locked to the main oscillator.
