    Abstract: A phase-locked-loop includes a phase-frequency-detector (PFD) comparing phases of an input signal and feedback signal, and generating therefrom control signals. An attenuation circuit in series with the PFD includes a filter between a voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO) control node and ground. A buffer is coupled to the VCO control node. An impedance network is coupled to the VCO control node and has an impedance element coupled to a first current source so voltage at the VCO control node increases when control signals indicate the phase of the input signal leads the feedback signal, and coupled to a second current source so voltage at the VCO control node decreases when control signals indicate a lagging phase. A VCO is coupled to the VCO control node to generate an output signal, with the phase of the output signal matching the input signal. The feedback signal is based upon the output signal.

    Abstract: A phase locked loop (PLL) circuit includes a phase comparison circuit configured to compare phase of an input signal to phase of a feedback signal and generate a control signal responsive to the phase comparison and an oscillator circuit configured to generate an output signal at a frequency set by said control signal, where said feedback signal is derived from said output signal. The PLL circuit further operates in a calibration mode of operation wherein the oscillator circuit operates in a frequency locked loop mode to compare frequency of the input signal to frequency of the output signal and center a gain of the oscillator circuit across process, voltage and temperature in response to the frequency comparison. Furthermore, bias current for a charge pump within the phase comparison circuit is calibrated during calibration mode of operation to match a temperature independent reference current.

    Abstract: A phase locked loop includes a voltage controlled oscillator and a frequency divider or frequency multiplier. The voltage controlled oscillator and the frequency divider/multiplier are coupled together in a stacked configuration. A drive current is supplied to the voltage controlled oscillator. The drive current passes from the voltage controlled oscillator to the frequency divider/multiplier, thereby driving the frequency divider/multiplier with the same drive current that was supplied to the voltage controlled oscillator.

    Abstract: A reference voltage generator circuit includes a circuit that generates a complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) voltage and a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current. An output current circuit generates, from the PTAT current, a sink PTAT current sunk from a first node and a source PTAT current sourced to a second node, wherein the sink and source PTAT currents are equal. A resistor is directly connected between the first node and the second node. A divider circuit divides the CTAT voltage to generate a divided CTAT voltage applied to the first node. A voltage at the second node is a fractional bandgap reference voltage equal to a sum of the divided CTAT voltage and a voltage drop across the resistor that is proportional to a resistor current equal to the sink and source PTAT currents.

    Abstract: A multiple phase oscillator includes a master oscillator that injection locks a first ring oscillator. The free-running frequency of the first ring oscillator is adjustable through a control signal. A second ring oscillator has a same structure as the first ring oscillator and is connected to operate in a free-running mode. The free-running frequency of the second ring oscillator is adjustable through the control signal. A control loop senses the output of the second ring oscillator and adjusts the control signal so that the free-running frequency of the second ring oscillator matches a desired value.
