    摘要: The present invention concerns a drive circuit for driving an oscillator. The drive circuit comprises a first inductor comprising a first terminal and a second terminal; an electrical energy source connected to the first terminal; and a switching circuit connected to the second terminal and to the oscillator. The switching circuit is configured to operate at least in an off state, where it is configured not to feed electrical energy to the oscillator, and in an on state, where it is configured to feed electrical energy to the oscillator. The first inductor is arranged to store energy in its magnetic field when the switching circuit is in the off state, and, when the switching circuit is in the on state, the switching circuit is arranged to use at least some of the energy stored in the magnetic field to deliver a surge of current from the electrical energy source to the oscillator.

    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) signal can be produced with an RF frequency that is responsive to a frequency reference (FREF) clock. An inductive-capacitive (LC) tank oscillator circuit can generate the RF signal. A digital to time converter (DTC) circuit can operate, for a first edge of the FREF clock, in a baseline mode that has a first delay, and for a subsequent edge of the FREF clock, in a delay mode that introduces a second delay value to the FREF clock. A controller circuit can enable the LC-tank oscillator circuit in response to a first edge of the FREF clock and to set or increase the second delay value of the delay mode as a function of the frequency of the RF signal. A phase detector circuit can detect, for the subsequent edge of the FREF clock, a phase difference between the FREF clock and the RF signal.

    摘要: A feedback module for preventing voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) runaway in a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit can include a first, a second, and a third input to receive a first output signal from a PLL circuit, a reference signal, and a first control signal. The feedback module may also include a feedback circuit to generate a second control signal, the second control signal being coupled to an input of the PLL circuit, wherein the feedback circuit generates the second control signal by comparing a number of cycles of the first output signal to a first threshold, and a number of cycles of the reference signal to a second threshold.
