    摘要: A signal generator circuit includes a controller adapted to generate a divide value in accordance with at least a first control signal, and a divider adapted to divide an output signal of the signal generator circuit by the divisor value. The controller is selectively operable in at least one of a plurality of modes in accordance with at least a second control signal. The controller is configured to calculate each of one or more new divide values so as to vary a frequency of the output signal in accordance with at least one of the first and second control signals. The controller is configured to switch between operational modes and/or switch between divide values, the switching between operational modes and/or divide values being performed in such a manner so as to substantially eliminate discontinuities in the frequency of the output signal.

    摘要: A phase locked loop (PLL) circuit is provided with selectable feedback paths. In one example, a method of operating a device includes passing a clock signal provided by a PLL circuit of the device through an internal feedback path of the PLL circuit to provide a first input signal to the PLL circuit while at least one external circuit of an external feedback path of the device is disabled during a low power operation mode of the device. The method also includes detecting a lock between the first input signal and a reference signal during the low power operation mode. The lock indicates that the clock signal is operating at a frequency used during a normal operation mode of the device. The method also includes passing the clock signal through the external feedback path to provide a second input signal to the PLL circuit. The method also includes switching from detecting a lock between the first input signal and the reference signal to detecting a lock between the second input signal and the reference signal if the external circuit is enabled for the normal operation mode.

    摘要: A phase interpolation circuit based on injected passive capacitances and an inductance for forming a resonator. The circuit conducts at least a first reference signal having a first phase component and a second reference signal having a second phase component shifted from the first phase component. By selectively switching the first reference signal and/or the second reference signal through one or more capacitances, an interpolated third signal having a third phase component between the first phase component and the second phase component can be generated. An inductor is connected with one or more of the capacitances for forming a resonant circuit to boost the signal level of the interpolated third signal. By utilizing resonance, an improved signal-to-noise ratio may be obtained for the interpolated third signal. An additional amplification stage, secondary to the resonant circuit, may be incorporated for further amplifying the signal level of the interpolated third signal.

    摘要: An integrated circuit including at least one loop filter for use in a phase-locked loop, the loop filter including a resistive element and at least one metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor configured as a capacitor having a first capacitance associated therewith. The MOS transistor is connected between a voltage source and an input of the loop filter via the resistive element. The loop filter further includes a bias circuit connected to the MOS transistor. The bias circuit is configured for maintaining a substantially constant reference voltage across the MOS transistor, the reference voltage being selected so as to bias the MOS transistor in a designated region of operation. In this manner, the first capacitance is substantially optimized per unit area.
