Abstract: An electronic circuit element has two capacitance values selected by means of a main control signal. The electronic circuit element comprises two variable-capacitance electronic components connected in parallel and each receiving opposite intermediate control signals, derived from the main control signal. The two variable-capacitance components are differentiated by a configuration parameter. The electronic circuit element exhibits a variation in capacitance corresponding to a difference between respective variations in capacitance of the two variable-capacitance electronic components during an inversion of the main control signal. The variation in capacitance of the electronic circuit element may be less than 5 attoFarads.

Abstract: A method in accordance with the invention may include a cyclical succession of measurement phases and of correction phases. The correction phase may include a deactivation of a frequency divider and a correction of the control of an oscillator on the basis of the error signal, with the output signal from the oscillator forming the desired signal.

Abstract: A phase-locked loop circuit having a comparator that receives a target digital word representative of a non-integer target ratio between a main signal and a reference signal having a reference frequency. The circuit also includes digitally-controlled oscillator coupled to the comparator to deliver an output signal. One return loop is coupled between the output of the oscillator and the comparator. The latter includes a device to generate a digital word representing the non-integer ratio between the period of the reference signal and the period of the output signal, the reference signal and the output signal respectively corresponding to the first and second signal, and the fixed integer part N being equal to the integer part of the target non-integer ratio. The comparator compares the digital word and target digital word. The oscillator adjusts the frequency of the output signal as a function of the result delivered by the comparator.

Abstract: A method for correcting the phase difference between two input signals of a phase-locked loop may include a charge pump connected to a filter. Prior to the occurrence of the first of the two input signals, a calibration phase may be carried out in which the input of the filter is disconnected from the output of the charge pump, the output voltage from the charge pump is equalized, to within a given error, with the input voltage of the filter, the amplitudes of the opposing currents flowing in the charge pump being equalized. Then, during the two respective occurrences of the two input signals, the input of the filter is reconnected to the output of the charge pump, and two phase-shifted signals that are delayed with respect to the input signals are respectively generated, in response to which the two opposing currents are, respectively and successively, interrupted, before the calibration phase is recommenced.
