    Abstract: Frequency synthesis is based on phase synchronizing PLL output across REFERENCE and VCO clock domains (including outputs for multiple PLLs), based on an input (REF-Domain) SYNC signal (phase timing reference). A frequency synthesizer includes a VCO to generate VCO_clk and a PLL output circuit, such as a channel divider, to generate PLL_OUT based on VCO_clk (in the VCO-Domain). The VCO loop includes a PD to phase compare an input PD_clock based on REF_CLK, and a VCO feedback signal based on divided VCO_clk (NDIV_out). SYNC alignment circuitry generates a SYNC alignment signal based on SYNC, PD_clk, and NDIV_out (REF-Domain), which is used to synchronize the PLL output circuit and PLL_OUT to SYNC. If a reference divider generates PD_clk, the SYNC alignment circuitry generates a reset to SYNC-align the reference divider. If the VCO loop uses fractional divide, the SYNC alignment circuitry resets the fractional modulator to a known sequence.

    Abstract: A driver includes an operational amplifier which includes a first amplifier input coupled to a first driver input, a second amplifier input coupled to a second driver input, a first amplifier output, a second amplifier output, a third amplifier output and a fourth amplifier output. The first amplifier output is coupled to the first driver output and the third amplifier output is coupled to the second driver output in a voltage-mode operation. The second amplifier output is coupled to the first driver output and the fourth amplifier output is coupled to the second driver output in a current-mode operation.

    Abstract: A system includes a data path and a phase-locked loop (PLL) coupled to the data path. The system also includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) coupled to the PLL. The VCO includes an LC circuit with first and second differential output terminals. The VCO also includes a first resistor coupled between the first differential output terminal and drain terminals of a first pair of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors. The VCO also includes a second resistor coupled between the second differential output terminal and drain terminals of a second pair of CMOS transistors.

    Abstract: A method of charging a power harvested supply in an electronic communication device, which can be an NFC (near field communication) device. The power harvested supply in the electronic communication device is charged without causing dV/V violation and avoids false wake up. An RF (radio frequency) field is received at the antenna of the electronic communication device. A differential voltage is generated from the RF field at a first tag pin and a second tag pin of the electronic communication device. A bandgap reference voltage and a reference current are generated in response to the differential voltage. A shunt current is generated in response to the differential voltage and the bandgap reference voltage. A bank of switching devices is activated if the shunt current is more than the reference current.

    Abstract: A serial bus re-driver circuit includes an edge detector circuit and a booster circuit. The edge detector circuit is configured to detect a transition of serial bus signal. The booster circuit is coupled to the edge detector circuit, and is configured to switch current to the serial bus signal. The booster circuit includes a leading edge boost pulse generation circuit and a trailing edge boost pulse generation circuit. The leading edge boost pulse generation circuit is configured to switch a first current pulse to the serial bus signal at the transition of the serial bus signal. The trailing edge boost pulse generation circuit is configured to switch a second current pulse to the serial bus signal. The second current pulse is shorter than the first current pulse.
