    Abstract: A Method and Apparatus for Fast Frequency Acquisition in PLL System has been disclosed. In one implementation a time to digital converter is used with cycle slip detection for fast acquisition and lock. In one implementation cycle slip detection is applied to determine if a feedback clock from an oscillator is faster than a reference clock or not in one measurement cycle.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first circuit, a second circuit and a third circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate a first code by counting a number of cycles of an input clock signal during a period. The period may be determined by an output clock signal and a second code. The second circuit may be configured to generate a third code by a delta-sigma modulation of the first code. The third circuit may be configured to generate the output clock signal in response to the third code. An accuracy of a frequency of the output clock signal may be determined by a current value of the second code.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a programmable timing device that includes a timing device circuit for generating at least one timing signal, a static random access memory (SRAM) coupled to the timing device circuit, a read only memory (ROM) having a first timing device configuration stored therein, a one time programmable non volatile memory (OTP NVM) for storing a second timing device configuration and selection logic. The selection logic includes an output coupled to the SRAM, a first input coupled to the ROM and a second input coupled to the OTP NVM. The selection logic is operable to receive input indicating whether SRAM is to be loaded from the ROM or the OTP NVM, and operable to load either the first timing device configuration from the ROM or the second timing device configuration from the OTP NVM based on the input.

    Abstract: A timing device that includes an OTP NVM, a first periodic signal generator operable to generate a periodic signal having a first frequency, a second periodic signal generator operable to generate a periodic signal having a frequency that is lower than the first frequency, and selection logic. In a first operating mode, the selection logic is configured to output the first periodic signal at an output terminal as long as a crystal clock feedback signal is received at the input terminal and output the second periodic signal when the crystal clock feedback signal is not received at the input terminal. In a second operating mode, the selection logic is configured to output the first periodic signal as long as a output enable signal is received at the input terminal and not provide any output at the output terminal when the output enable signal is not received at the input terminal.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises an input port, an output port, and a resonant receive switch circuit. The resonant receive switch circuit may be coupled between the input port and the output port. The resonant receive switch circuit may comprise a first switch, a second switch, and an input matching circuit. When the first and the second switches are in a non-conducting state, a signal at the input port is passed to the output port. When the first and the second switches are in a conducting state, the signal at the input port is prevented from reaching the output port.
