    摘要: A very fast lock integer N PLL with hybrid digital coarse VCO tuning and VCO temperature drift compensation provides for a fully digital tuning scheme without the need for charge pumps. A PLL synthesizer (300) using such a PLL design provides for very fast lock times by using an open loop step and a closed loop step. The hybrid PLL can achieve coarse tuning within four clock cycles, while minimizing any errors caused by the VCO non-linearity. Temperature tracking and compensation is also provided. A SAR implementation (100) and an interpolation tuning implementation (200) are also described.

    摘要: Multi-band fractional-N PLL synthesizers with built-in spurious sideband compensation, which tracks the VCO output, tend to consume large amounts of power (as much as 10 times) due to the RF operation of the compensation circuitry. This patent introduces a dynamic power approach where the compensation circuitry is biased only during the fractional portion of the cycle. This technique provides the advantages of fractional-N synthesizers with spur suppression, such as higher speed and lower phase noise with ultra low power dissipation.

    摘要: A direct digital frequency synthesizer for generating a digital sine or cosine function waveform receive digital input. Memory stores digital samples along portions of sine and cosine function waveforms. The memory outputs the digital samples in response to a first portion of the digital input. Control logic is responsive to the digital input and controls the output of the digital samples from the memory to allow digital samples along a complete cycle of the sine or cosine function waveform to be output even though only portions of the sine and cosine function waveforms are stored in the memory. A linear interpolator receives a second portion of the digital input and modifies digital samples output by the memory to generate intermediate digital samples between the digital samples stored in the memory to improve accuracy.

    摘要: A closed loop power output calibration system for variable power output wireless devices. The wireless device includes a wireless transceiver having a transmit core coupled to a discrete power amplifier. Power detection circuitry formed in the wireless transceiver provides a detected power level of the power amplifier, and a reference power level, both of which are converted to digital signals using existing I and Q signal analog to digital converters in the receiver core. The digital signals are processed to cancel power distortion and temperature effects to provide a resulting power feedback signal. Corrective control signals are generated in response to the power feedback signal relative to a desired power output level. The gain in the transmit core is then adjusted in response to the corrective control signals such that the power amplifier outputs the target output power level.

    摘要: A power supply noise rejection circuit for functional circuits, such as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The power supply noise rejection circuit includes an isolation transistor connected to a voltage supply for providing an output current and voltage substantially free of noise across the full frequency range. A current source, a diode connected reference transistor with resistance means connected between its gate and drain terminals, and a dummy circuit serially connected between the voltage supply and ground generate a bias voltage that is applied to the gate of the isolation transistor. The dummy circuit mimics the DC characteristics of the functional circuit such that the output current tracks with process and temperature variations. The isolation transistor and the reference transistor can have negative threshold voltages, and the circuit can include bleed means for drawing current from the gate of the reference transistor and isolation transistor.

    摘要: An integrated automatic IIP2 calibration architecture for wireless transceivers is disclosed. The architecture enables a wireless transceiver to generate a test radio frequency (RF) signal having a second order tone with minimal additional circuitry. In particular, the test RF signal is generated using a combination of native transceiver circuits and test adaptor circuits. Native transceiver circuits are those circuits implemented on the transceiver chip for executing native transceiver functions during normal operation, which can be used for generating the test (RF) signal. Test adaptor circuits are added to the transceiver chip, more specifically to the native circuits, for enabling the native circuits to generate the test RF signal in a self-test mode of operation. Circuits for implementing a particular IIP2 minimizing scheme can be included on the transceiver chip for automatic IIP2 calibration during the self-test mode of operation.

    摘要: A digital linear transmitter for digital to analog conversion of a radio frequency signal. The transmitter includes a delta sigma (ΔΣ) digital to analog converter (DAC) and a weighted signal digital to analog converter in the transmit path of a wireless device to reduce reliance on relatively large analog components. The ΔΣ DAC converts the lowest significant bits of the oversampled signal while the weighted signal digital to analog converter converts the highest significant bits of the oversampled signal. The transmitter core includes components for providing an oversampled modulated digital signal which is then subjected to first order filtering of the oversampled signal prior to generating a corresponding analog signal. The apparatus and method reduces analog components and increases digital components in transmitter core architecture of wireless RF devices.
