    摘要: A semiconductor device or a circuit includes a controllable oscillator and circuitry that senses a voltage which may control the controllable oscillator and digitally controls a gain compensation, adaptively compensating for a drop in a gain against overall loop gain within a closed loop. In one embodiment, a single supply source may be used to power the closed loop while a variable gain stage that is digitally controllable may adjust the gain in a feed-forward manner based on the drop.

    摘要: An area-efficient delay cell utilizes transistor stacks to control positive feedback responsive to a counter code, thereby controlling the hysteresis and overall signal delay of the cell. The code-delay response of the cell can be modified by freezing the counter code at a convenient value. Linear superposition of the responses of one modified cell connected in series with one unmodified cell provides a more linear overall response and reduces jitter when used in a delay locked loop.
