摘要: A clock and data recovery circuit with jitter tolerance enhancement is provided. The CDR circuit includes: a bang-bang phase detector, a digital filter, a digitally controlled oscillator, and an adaptive loop gain control circuit. The CDR circuit detects a loop bandwidth variation and adjusts the loop bandwidth of CDR circuit by adjusting proportional path and integral path gain factors of the digital filter of the CDR circuit. The loop gain controller uses two methods to adjust the loop gain in CDR circuit: bang-bang adjusting method and linear adjusting method.

摘要: A digital solution for phase control of an output of a phase-locked loop (PLL) (100) is provided to achieve a desired phase shift at the output of the PLL (100). To that end, a fraction of the pulses of a PLL feedback signal are time shifted to achieve a desired average time shift associated with the desired phase shift. As a result, a desired phase shift is generated at the output of the PLL (100), while a desired devisor of the feedback signal is maintained on average. The resulting digital solution provides highly accurate phase control.

摘要: A phase-locked loop (PLL) has a primary loop (with a reference clock) and a secondary loop (with a stable reference clock). The secondary loop may include a fractional-N PLL, and may include a secondary loop filter, oscillator, output clock counter, and phase predictor using a rational secondary frequency control word (FCW). The primary loop has a register sampling the oscillator phase from the counter, and a phase predictor which uses a primary fractional-N FCW to calculate a predicted phase as an integer number. The primary loop forwards the integer difference between the sampled phase and the predicted phase to a primary loop filter, which outputs the secondary FCW. The primary loop filter has a much lower bandwidth than the secondary loop filter. The PLL may have multiple primary loops, with a hitless switching function. A primary loop may have sleep mode. The PLL may also provide an oscillator sleep function.

摘要: A programmable delay line comprises a delay stage responsive to an analog control signal and responsive to one or more digital control signals. The delay stage generates an output signal that is delayed relative to an input signal by a delay amount. The delay amount controlled by a value of the analog control signal and one or more values of the digital control signals. A method for controlling a delay locked loop circuit comprises providing, to a programmable delay line of the delay locked loop circuit, a one or more digital signals, and providing, to the programmable delay line, an analog signal. A first portion of a delay produced by the programmable delay line corresponds to values of the one or more digital signals. A second portion of the delay produced by the programmable delay line corresponds to a value of the analog signal.

摘要: A master-slave delay locked loop system comprises a master delay locked loop (“MDLL”) for generating at least one bias voltage and at least one slave delay locked loop (“SDLL”). The at least one SDLL is coupled to the MDLL, where the at least one SDLL comprises an analog to digital converter for converting the at least one bias voltage to at least one digital signal, an adder/subtractor block for adjusting the at least one digital signal based on at least one control signal, a digital to analog converter for converting the at least one adjusted digital signal to at least one analog signal, a voltage to current converter for converting the at least one analog signal to at least one bias current, delay elements for generating phase delayed signals based on the at least one bias current, and a phase detector and control logic for determining any phase difference between the phase delayed signals and for generating the at least one control signal to align the phase delayed signals.

摘要: An integrated circuit with a phase-locked loop (PLL) is provided. The PLL may include a phase frequency detector, a charge pump, a source follower circuit, a variable oscillator, a frequency divider, and a control block. The phase frequency detector may be configured to align or lock a feedback clock signal to a reference clock signal. The control block includes clock loss detection circuits that are used to determine whether the reference clock signal or the feedback clock signal has stopped toggling. In response to detecting a clock loss event for either the reference or the feedback clock signal, the control block may disable the phase frequency detector to place the charge pump in a tristate mode and may apply a predetermined bias voltage to the source follower circuit to help minimize electrical overstress.

摘要: A delay locked loop includes a delay line, a delay circuit, a phase detector, a delay code generator, and a delay controller. The delay line may delay an input clock signal in units of unit delay in response to a delay control code to generate an output clock signal. The delay circuit may delay the output clock signal to generate a delay clock signal. The phase detector may compare the input clock signal and the delay clock signal to generate a phase detection signal. The delay code generator may compare the input clock signal and the delay clock signal to detect a phase difference therebetween, and generate a delay code using the phase difference. The delay controller may generate the delay control code using the delay code and the phase detection signal.

摘要: A system and method for calibrating a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) having both fine-tuning control and coarse-tuning control. The VCO frequency can vary monotonically with changes in each of one or more operational conditions. The calibration method determines the coarse-tuning control setting for the VCO at system start-up. The method comprises generating frequency characterization data, generating a polynomial function from the characterization data, calculating the fine-tuning control voltage based on the polynomial function and a measurement of the operational conditions, and sweeping through ail the coarse-tuning control settings to determine the coarse-tuning control setting that generates the closest VCO frequency to a target frequency when using the calculated fine-tuning control voltage.

摘要: A PLL circuit having a desired performance is provided. A PLL circuit (100) includes a phase comparator (11) that detects a phase difference; a voltage control oscillator (12) that generates a signal to be returned to the phase comparator (11); and a loop filter (10) that is disposed between the phase comparator (11) and the voltage control oscillator (12) and includes an adder (50) that adds outputs from a proportional path (20), a first integral path (40), and a second integral path (30). The second integral path (30) and the first integral path (40) each include a cumulative adder, a ΔΣ modulator, and an RC filter. The lock detector (36) detects a lock state, controls a gain of the first cumulative adder (42) and a bandwidth of the first RC filter (45), and switches an input to a second ΔΣ modulator (33) to a fixed value.
