    Abstract: A circuit includes an amplifier having first and second inputs and an output, and a feedback circuit configured to generate a feedback voltage in response to a voltage at the output of the amplifier. The feedback circuit is coupled to the first input of the amplifier to provide the feedback voltage to the first input of the amplifier. An output circuit is configured to generate a variable bias current in response to the voltage at the output of the amplifier. A switch circuit is configured to switch the second input of the amplifier from receiving a first reference voltage during a first mode of operation to receiving a second reference voltage during a second mode of operation.

    Abstract: Circuit module designs that incorporate dual gate field effect transistors are implemented with fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) technology. Lowering the threshold voltages of the transistors can be accomplished through dynamic secondary gate control in which a back-biasing technique is used to operate the dual gate FD-SOI transistors with enhanced switching performance. Consequently, such transistors can operate at very low core voltage supply levels, down to as low as about 0.4 V, which allows the transistors to respond quickly and to switch at higher speeds. Performance improvements are shown in circuit simulations of an inverter, an amplifier, a level shifter, and a voltage detection circuit module.

    Abstract: An electronic device disclosed herein includes a locked loop circuit configured to receive a reference signal intended to have an intended frequency, wherein the locked look circuit is intended to generate an intended output signal having an intended frequency equal to the intended frequency multiplied by an intended multiplier. A frequency counter counts a number of pulses of the reference signal during a time window so as to determine an actual frequency of the reference signal. A control circuit determines an actual multiplier for the locked loop circuit that, when multiplied by the actual frequency of the reference signal, causes the locked loop circuit to generate an actual output signal having an actual frequency equal to the intended frequency.

    Abstract: A phase or frequency locked-loop circuit includes an oscillator configured to generate an output clock signal having a frequency set by an oscillator control signal. A modulator circuit receives a first signal and a second signal and is configured to generate a control signal having a value modulated in response to the first and second signals. A filter circuit generates the oscillator control signal by filtering the control signal. A delta-sigma modulator circuit operates to modulate the second signal in response to a modulation profile. As a result, the output clock signal is a spread spectrum clock signal.

    Abstract: A clock signal is generated with an oscillator. A crystal oscillator core within the oscillator circuit is switched on to produce first and second oscillation signals that are approximately opposite in phase. When a difference between a voltage of the first oscillation signal and a voltage of the second oscillation signal exceeds an upper threshold range, the crystal oscillator core is switched off. When the difference between the voltage of the first oscillation signal and the voltage of the second oscillation signal falls below the upper threshold range, the crystal oscillator core is switched back on. This operation is repeated so as to produce the clock signal.
