    Abstract: Third order distortion is reduced in a CMOS transconductor circuit that includes a first N-channel transistor and a first P-channel transistor, gates of the first N-channel transistor and the first P-channel transistor being coupled to receive an input signal. Drains of the first N-channel transistor and first P-channel transistor are coupled to an output conductor. A first degeneration resistor is coupled between a source of the first P-channel transistor and a first supply voltage and a second degeneration resistor is coupled between a source of the first N-channel transistor and a second supply voltage. A first low impedance bypass circuit is coupled between the sources of the first P-channel transistor and the first N-channel transistor. A low impedance bypass circuit re-circulates second order distortion current that is induced by second-order distortion in drain currents of the first P-channel transistor and the first N-channel transistor, through the first N-channel transistor and first P-channel transistor.

    Abstract: A high linearity phase interpolator (PI) is disclosed. A phase value parameter indicative of a desired phase difference between an output signal and an input clock signal edge may be provided by control logic. A first capacitor may be charged for a first period of time with a first current that is proportional to the phase value parameter to produce a first voltage on the capacitor that is proportional to the phase value parameter. The first capacitor may be further charged for a second period of time with a second current that has a constant value to form a voltage ramp offset by the first voltage. A reference voltage may be compared to the voltage ramp during the second period of time. The output signal may be asserted at a time when the voltage ramp equals the reference voltage.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for producing a low-power, low-phase noise oscillating signal using a self-injection locking oscillator. Preferred embodiments include, for example, producing, using an oscillator, a signal having a base frequency component and an Nth harmonic component, wherein N is a selected integer and N>1; filtering said signal through a bandpass filter with Q factor ≥5, said filter configured to pass said Nth harmonic component as a filtered Nth harmonic component; and injecting said filtered Nth harmonic component into said oscillator to thereby self-injection lock said base frequency of said signal.

    Abstract: The systems and methods of oscillator frequency tuning using a bulk acoustic wave resonator include a relaxation oscillator, a BAW oscillator, a frequency counter, and an adjustment module. The BAW oscillator provides an accurate time reference even over temperature changes. The BAW oscillator is turned on periodically and the relaxation oscillator is calibrated with the BAW oscillator. A temporary and periodic enablement of the BAW oscillator maintains a low current consumption. The frequency counter counts a number of full periods of the BAW oscillator that occur in one period of the relaxation oscillator. Since each frequency is known, the number of pulses of the BAW oscillator that should occur during one period of the relaxation oscillator is known. If the count is different from what should be counted, a correction may be made by adjusting an input parameter of the relaxation oscillator.
