    摘要: A phase lock loop (PLL) and methods for using same is provided that includes a multiple-feedback CMOS voltage control oscillator (VCO) and multi-phase sampling fractional-N prescaler. The PLL provides increased performance characteristics for a single chip CMOS radio frequency (RF) communications system. The multiple feedback CMOS VCO maintains an amplitude of a VCO signal while reducing a rise/fall time of the VCO signal. The multiple feedback CMOS VCO further reduces supply noise effects. The multi-phase sampling fractional-N prescaler provides sufficient bandwidth for a CMOS VCO while maintaining spectral purity and reducing fractional-spur. The multi-phase sampling fractional-N prescaler can include a divider, a sampler circuit, a selector circuit and a modular counter.

    摘要: A tuning circuit for an RF communications system and method includes a master block that outputs a control signal to a slave block. The master block can include a first filter having a high pass filter and a low pass filter that each receive the control signal, a first rectifier coupled to the high pass filter, a second rectifier coupled to the low pass filter, and a converter coupled to the first and second rectifiers that outputs the control signal. The first filter is preferably a gm-C poly-phase filter. Output signals of the gm-C poly-phase filter include high and low pass filtering signals resulting from similarly configured circuits so that the output signals have the same electrical characteristics, which results in an increased accuracy, for example, in a cut-off frequency.

    摘要: A system for converting between parallel data and serial data is described. In the system, individual bits of the parallel data are latched into individual registers. Each register is coupled to a corresponding AND gate which is also connected to receive phased clock signals. The output terminals of the AND gates are connected to an OR gate. Using the system, with appropriately phased clocks, the parallel data is converted into serial data.

    摘要: A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) generates an oscillating signal that is substantially resistant to noise fluctuations in the supply voltage. The VCO is a delay-based VCO which preferably includes a compensation circuit for each delay cell and a noise-immune reference current generator for providing a noise-immune bias current to the conditioning circuit of the VCO. The compensation circuit preferably adjusts the capacitance of the delay cell to compensate for the variations in current caused by the supply noise. The noise-immune reference current generator preferably utilizes a configuration of transistors which maintains through at least one transistor a substantially constant current which is used to bias the conditioning circuit.

    摘要: A clock generating circuit generates 2n clocks (where n is a positive integer number) each having 1/2n frequency of a maximum baud rate of data bit-stream input and a phase difference of .pi./n between successive phases thereof, and simultaneously shifts the phases on the clocks ahead or behind until the phases between the clocks and corresponding data bits of the data bit-stream input are locked in quadrature, by comparing the phase of the clock with those of data bit-stream input and adjusting the phases of the clocks.

    摘要: A coarse lock detector for a delayed locked loop (DLL) is disclosed. The coarse lock detector includes multiple detection cells. Each detection cell receives a delayed clock phase and an output of a previous detection cell as inputs. To increase time for the output of the previous detection cell to propagate, the detection cells are arranged in groups such that the output from the previous detection cell is generated by a detection cell which is more than one detection cell previous.
