    Abstract: A system includes a data path and a phase-locked loop (PLL) coupled to the data path. The system also includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) coupled to the PLL. The VCO includes an LC circuit with first and second differential output terminals. The VCO also includes a first resistor coupled between the first differential output terminal and drain terminals of a first pair of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors. The VCO also includes a second resistor coupled between the second differential output terminal and drain terminals of a second pair of CMOS transistors.

    Abstract: A fractional-N frequency synthesizer that suppresses integer boundary spurs. A frequency synthesizer includes a fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL) and a reference frequency scaler. The reference frequency scaler is coupled to a reference clock input of the PLL, the reference frequency scaler includes a programmable frequency divider, and a programmable frequency multiplier connected in series with the programmable frequency divider. Each of the divider and multiplier is configured to scale a reference frequency provided to the PLL by a programmable integer value.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a frequency synthesizer. It includes a PFD that generates an up signal and a down signal in response to a reference signal and a feedback signal. A charge pump generates a control voltage in response to the up signal and the down signal. A low pass filter generates a filtered voltage in response to the control voltage. An oscillator circuit generates an output signal in response to the filtered voltage. A feedback divider is coupled between the oscillator circuit and the PFD, and divides the output signal by a first integer divider to generate the feedback signal. A sigma delta modulator (SDM) generates a second integer divider in response to the feedback signal, the reference signal, the output signal and the first integer divider. A digital filter is coupled between the SDM and the feedback divider, and filters quantization noise associated with the SDM.

    Abstract: A method of charging a power harvested supply in an electronic communication device, which can be an NFC (near field communication) device. The power harvested supply in the electronic communication device is charged without causing dV/V violation and avoids false wake up. An RF (radio frequency) field is received at the antenna of the electronic communication device. A differential voltage is generated from the RF field at a first tag pin and a second tag pin of the electronic communication device. A bandgap reference voltage and a reference current are generated in response to the differential voltage. A shunt current is generated in response to the differential voltage and the bandgap reference voltage. A bank of switching devices is activated if the shunt current is more than the reference current.
