    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for delay element calibration. The method generally includes: incrementing a calibration delay control signal provided to a delay element to generate an output clock signal by delaying an input clock signal; comparing, via a phase detector (PD), the input clock signal and the output clock signal to generate a PD output signal; and accumulating, via a first accumulator, the PD output signal to generate a calibration output signal.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for generating multiple oscillating signals having different phases. One example multiphase generating circuit generally includes a first phase shifting circuit configured to phase shift an input signal having an input frequency, such that an output signal of the first phase shifting circuit has a first phase difference with respect to the input signal; a first frequency dividing circuit configured to receive the input signal and output a first set of signals having a first frequency less than the input frequency of the input signal; and a second frequency dividing circuit configured to receive the output signal of the first phase shifting circuit and output a second set of signals having a second frequency less than the input frequency of the input signal. The multiphase signals may be used for fast frequency estimation of the input signal or in N-path filters.

    Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) may include a phase-frequency detector (PFD), a phase interpolation (PI)-based sampler, a loop filter, a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), and a fractional frequency divider. The PFD output corresponds to a phase error between a reference clock signal and a feedback signal. The PI-based sampler produces a slope signal in response to the PFD output, and adjusts the slope signal in response to a quantization error correction indication. The PI-based sampler also samples the slope signal. The loop filter produces a VCO control signal in response to a sampled slope signal. The VCO control signal controls the VCO frequency. The fractional frequency divider circuit divides the frequency of the VCO output signal and also determines the quantization error correction corresponding to the quantization error introduced by fractional division of the frequency of the VCO output signal.
