    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: The present disclosure describes a low-power, low-phase-noise (LPLPN) oscillator. The LPLPN oscillator includes a resonator load, an amplifier stage, and a loop gain control circuit. The resonator load is structured to resonate at a primary resonant frequency. The amplifier stage is coupled with the resonator load to develop a loop gain that peaks at the primary resonant frequency. The loop gain control circuit is coupled with the amplifier stage, and it is structured to regulate the loop gain for facilitating the amplifier stage to generate an oscillation signal at the primary resonant frequency and suppress a noise signal at a parasitic parallel resonant frequency (PPRF).

    Abstract: A clock oscillator includes with a pullable BAW oscillator to generate an output signal with a target frequency. The BAW oscillator is based on a BAW resonator and voltage-controlled variable load capacitance, responsive to a capacitance control signal to provide a selectable load capacitance. An oscillator driver (such as a differential negative gm transconductance amplifier), is coupled to the BAW oscillator to provide an oscillation drive signal. The BAW oscillator is responsive to the oscillation drive signal to generate the output signal with a frequency based on the selectable load capacitance. The oscillator driver can include a bandpass filter network with a resonance frequency substantially at the target frequency.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include fractional frequency divider circuits, including a counter to provide phase shifted pulse output signals in response to counting of an adjustable integer number NK cycles of an input clock signal, an output circuit to provide an output clock signal having a first edge between first edges of the pulse output signals, as well as a delta-sigma modulator (DSM), clocked by the second pulse output signal to receive a first predetermined value and to provide a DSM output value, and a phase accumulator to receive a step input value representing a sum of the DSM output value and a second predetermined value. The phase accumulator provides a divisor input signal to the counter, and provides a phase adjustment value to the output circuit to control the position of the first edge of the output clock signal between the first edges of the pulse output signals.

    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.
