    摘要: A voltage controlled oscillator with anti supply voltage variation and/or process variation includes an oscillation circuit for outputting an oscillatory signal; a current source coupled to the oscillation circuit for providing an input current to the oscillation circuit; and a variation compensation circuit for compensating the variations generated by the supply voltage and process. The variation compensation circuit includes a peak detector for generating a peak voltage proportional to the amplitude of the oscillatory signal; a compensating voltage generator for generating a reference voltage according to the process variation so that the oscillation circuit achieves the same working conditions under the process variation; and a comparator for comparing the peak voltage and the reference voltage to generate a control voltage. When the variation compensation circuit includes an amplifier, the supply voltage can be compensated.

    摘要: A pipeline time-to-digital converter (TDC) is provided. The pipeline TDC includes a plurality of TDC cells. Each of the TDC cells includes a delay unit, an output unit and a determination unit. The delay unit receives a first clock signal and a first reference signal output from a previous stage TDC cell. The delay unit generates sampling phases in a period between a trigger edge of the first reference signal and a trigger edge of the first clock signal, and samples the first clock signal to obtain sampling values in accordance with the sampling phases. The output unit calculates the sampling values for outputting a conversion value. The determination unit uses and analyses the sampling values and the sampling phases for outputting time residue to a next stage TDC cell.

    摘要: A device for voltage-noise rejection and fast start-up is provided. It comprises a low-pass filter connected to a voltage source, a voltage-controlled switch connected in parallel with the low-pass filter, and an auxiliary start-up element connected to a DC-only voltage output. By using a transistor operating in the triode region and a capacitor with suitable capacitance, it is suitable for integration to form a low-frequency low-pass pole to suppress the noise in the reference current. The auxiliary start-up element overcomes the large turn on time caused by the low frequency low-pass pole. As there is no static current during normal operation, the power consumption for the device is low.
