    Abstract: For example, an apparatus may include a digitally-controlled frequency multiplier, which may be controllable according to a digital control input, to generate an output frequency signal having an output frequency, for example, by multiplying an input frequency of an input frequency signal. For example, the digitally-controlled frequency multiplier may include a phase generator configured to generate a plurality of phase-shifted signal groups corresponding to a respective plurality of first phase-shifts applied to the input frequency signal, a plurality of digital clock multipliers controllable according to the digital control input to generate a respective plurality of frequency-multiplied signals based on the plurality of phase-shifted signal groups, and a combiner to generate the output frequency signal based on a combination of the plurality of frequency-multiplied signals.

    Abstract: A system for assigning a characterization and calibrating a parameter is disclosed. The system includes a frequency measurement circuit and a finite state machine. The frequency measurement circuit is configured to measure frequencies of an oscillatory signal and to generate a measurement signal including measured frequencies. The finite state machine is configured to control measurements by the frequency measurement circuit, to assign a characterization to a parameter based on the measurement signal, and to generate a calibration signal based on the characterized parameter.

    Abstract: Determination of digital compensation to compensate for non-linearity of stochastic system configured to sample a phase difference, based on statistical analysis of calibration data generated by the stochastic system in response to a linear phase ramp. The stochastic system may include a set of stochastic sampler circuits to sample a phase difference at periodic events, and calibration data may include a digital value of set of stochastic samples for each of multiple events. The calibration data may include sequences of the digital values in which the digital values increment over a range of the stochastic system (i.e., between saturation states of the stochastic system). Statistical analysis may include histogram analysis to estimate the probability distribution of the calibration data. The stochastic system may be configured as part of a time-to-digital converter, which may be configured within a feedback loop of a digitally controllable phase lock loop.

    Abstract: This application discusses, among other things, calibration systems for ameliorating nonlinearity of a digital-to-time converter (DTC). In an example, a calibration system can include a calibration path configured to represent a segment of the DTC, a time-to-digital circuit configured to receive an output of the calibration path and the processed frequency information and to provide timing error information of the segment, and a calibration engine configured to receive controller modulation information from a main controller, to provide calibration modulation information to the DTC, to receive the timing error information, and to provide compensation information to a correction circuit coupled to the DTC using the timing error information.
