    摘要: In a phase lock loop, a charge pump includes a current mirror circuit. The current mirror circuit contains a bias current source and a current mirror source which mirrors the current of the bias current source. The current mirror source is turned on and off in accordance with an output signal from a phase detector to produce correction signals for a VCO. To conserve power, circuits are provided for turning the bias current source on just before it is needed by the current mirror source and for turning the bias current source off just after the current mirror source turns off.

    摘要: A gated-delay locked loop that generates an output clock in phase with and having a frequency which is an integer multiple of the frequency of a reference clock. The gated delay-locked loop includes a voltage-controlled gated oscillator having first and second serially connected voltage-controlled delay elements that each introduce a time delay to produce a first delayed clock and the output clock. An S-R flip-flop receives the first delayed clock on its R-input and either the output clock or the reference clock on its S-input to produce a loop clock. The loop clock is provided to the first delay element. A multiplexer selects the reference clock as the S input to the flip-flop once every N cycles, and selects the output clock as the S input the remaining N−1 cycles. A phase detector, a charge pump and a loop filter compare the phase of the output clock to the phase of the reference clock and apply a voltage to the delay elements to correct any phase differences.

    摘要: A multiple input, low voltage, OR/NOR gate architecture based on a single-ended OR/NOR gate circuit, wherein a plurality of input transistors are connected in parallel. A reference transistor connects to the input transistors. A feedback means connects the NOR output signal to the base or gate of the reference transistor. The feedback means provides an effectively differential input for the multiple input circuit, without increasing circuit complexity, thereby providing enhanced noise margin characteristics.

    摘要: A synchronous prescaler is provided that has an input line for receiving an input signal, which is synchronized to a low order dual modulus prescaler. The dual modulus prescaler generally divides responsive to a mode command line, but may have a dead-zone period where it may fail to respond to a generated mode command. The dual modulus prescaler also has an output line that is synchronized to an extender section. The extender section is used to further divide the input signal, and is synchronized to an adjustable counter section. A sync controller circuit receives an output from the counter section, as well as a timing signal from the extender, and generates the mode signal on the mode command line. In this arrangement, the sync controller generates the mode signal at a time when the low order dual modulus is in a condition to change divide modes, thereby avoiding providing the signal during the dead-zone period.

    摘要: RF voltage amplifier circuits which have high voltage amplifier gain and input signal frequency range, and a method for boosting the voltage amplifier gain and input signal frequency range in such circuits is provided. A method includes the steps of providing a voltage amplifier having a transistor with the grounded source and the drain connected to a power supply via a resistive load, and providing an integrated inductor for biasing the transistor, having an inductor connecting an input signal terminal to the gate of the transistor and a capacitor connecting the gate and the source of the transistor. The next step includes selecting a resonant frequency of the integrated inductor at a frequency where the voltage amplifier gain is starting to roll-off, for boosting the voltage amplifier gain and the input signal frequency range. The integrated inductor preferably operates at a resonant frequency approximately matching the roll-off frequency of the voltage amplifier. In another embodiment the voltage amplifier has a common emitter (CE) gain stage, a common base (CB) cascade stage directly-coupled to the CE gain stage, and a constant current mirror source. The integrated inductor has two inductors, each connected to one input of the amplifier input signal pair and a capacitor connecting the inductors. This circuit can be adapted for fully differential operation mode or for single ended operation mode.
