    摘要: A delay locked loop (DLL) is calibrated to obtain a measure of offset error in the DLL. The offset error is compensated for in normal operation. In an embodiment, a current corresponding to the measure of offset is forced into one of a pair of paths carrying error signals representing a phase-mismatch between a reference signal and a feedback signal. In another embodiment, additional delay corresponding to the measure of offset is introduced on one of the pair of paths. Offset error is thus largely removed in normal operation of the DLL. The DLL employs an amplifier in place of a charge pump to remove systematic offset errors due to a charge pump. A phase detector in the DLL is designed such that an overlap interval of error outputs of the phase detector is at least half the period of the reference signal, thereby lending to high-frequency operation.

    摘要: A sigma delta DAC using a single DAC to generate a first analog quantity portion and a second analog quantity portion, having a strength respectively proportionate to the most significant bits (MSBs) and least significant bits (LSBs) of a received digital value. The two portions are added to generate an analog output representing the strength of the digital value. In an embodiment, the single DAC contains a set of current sources, with some of the current sources (determined by the value of the MSBs) being connected to provide the corresponding output currents on a first path. Some of the other current sources, determined by a value of the LSBs, are controlled to be connected to provide the corresponding output currents on a second path. The time durations the currents are connected to the second path, are determined by the output of a sigma delta modulator.

    摘要: Generating an output signal having a frequency of 1/(M+F) of the frequency of the input signal, wherein M represents an integer and F represents a non-zero fraction. Assuming F equals (Q/R) in one embodiment, wherein Q and R are integers, R intermediate signals phase shifted by equal degree (relative to the one with closest phase shift) in one clock period of the input signal are generated. A selection circuit may select one of the intermediate signals in one clock cycle, select the successive signals with increasing phase shift in Q clock cycles, and leave the intermediate signal with the same shift as in the previous clock cycle in the remaining ones of the M clock cycles. A counter counts a change of state in the output of the selection circuit, and generates a pulse representing an edge of the output signal at the time instance when counter counts M.

    摘要: A serial interface interacting with a transmission pad system circuitry wherein a differential impedance is reckoned across the system voltage source, includes a scheme for controlling transmitter rise-fall transitions (to selectively speed up or slow down transitions) without requiring additional timing controls or affecting reflection coefficient of the transmitter port. The scheme uses at least one pre-charged capacitor, e.g., PMOS capacitor, interacting with the transmitter pad and connected through resistances or otherwise across the differential impedance with a switch. A modified scheme uses first and second parallely connected PMOS capacitors connectable with the transmission pad by switches, which may be NMOS switches. The scheme may be used in a MIPI D-PHY compliant DSI transmitter operating at, for e.g. 800 Mbps, and low signal common-modes. The scheme controls signal transition times of high speed circuitry including transmitters and uses a DATA signal which is already available to the circuitry.

    摘要: A digital PWM demodulator includes a first set of delay cells to receive a PWM signal and to propagate the PWM signal in a forward direction for a first interval. Delayed signals obtained at the end of the first interval are propagated in the reverse direction through the delay cells for a second interval. A logic zero feeds into the last cell at the start of the second interval. The output of a last cell in the delay cells at the end of the second interval is indicative of a data value modulated on the PWM signal. The digital PWM demodulator includes a second set of delay cells designed to operate identical to the first set of delay cells. The first set of delay cells and the second set of delay cells in conjunction with additional digital circuitry demodulate alternate periods of the PWM signal.
