    Abstract: An integrated circuit receives a first and second clock signal and a select signal that selects one of the clock signals. A glitchless switching circuit supplies an output clock signal according to which of the first and second clocks is selected by the select signal. A reset circuit coupled to the glitchless switching circuit responds to a direction of a transition of the select signal and generates a first reset signal in response to a first direction of the transition and generates a second reset signal in response to a second direction of the transition. The reset pulses are supplied respectively to first and second paths in the glitchless switching circuit to reset the state machine formed by the first and second paths in the event one of the input clocks is absent.

    Abstract: A method for estimating jitter of a clock signal includes generating a phase-adjusted clock signal based on an input clock signal and a feedback clock signal using a frequency-divided clock signal. The method generating N digital time codes for each phase adjustment of P phase adjustments of the phase-adjusted clock signal using a reference clock signal. Each digital time code of the N digital time codes corresponds to a first edge of a clock signal based on the frequency-divided clock signal. P is a first integer greater than zero and N is a second integer greater than zero. The method includes generating a jitter indicator based on an expected period of the clock signal and the N digital time codes for each phase adjustment of the P phase adjustments.

    Abstract: A fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) has a time-to-voltage converter with second order non linearity. The time-to voltage-converter provides an analog error signal indicating a phase difference between the reference clock signal with a period error and a feedback signal supplied by a fractional-N feedback divider. The spur results in quantization noise associated with the fractional-N feedback divider being frequency translated. To address the frequency translated noise, a spur cancellation circuit receives a residue signal indicative of the quantization noise and a spur signal indicative of the spur. The non-linearity of the time-to-voltage converter is mimicked digitally through terms of a polynomial generated to cancel the noise. The generated polynomial is coupled to a delta sigma modulator that controls a digital to analog converter that adds/subtracts a voltage value to/from the error signal to thereby cancel the quantization noise including the frequency translated quantization noise.
