    摘要: In at least one embodiment of the invention, a method for dividing a first signal having a first frequency by a divide ratio to generate a lower frequency signal includes generating a first plurality of signals having a common frequency, a first pulse width, and different phases. The first plurality of signals is based, at least in part, on at least one signal having a second pulse width. The first pulse width is selected from a plurality of pulse widths based, at least in part, on the divide ratio. The method includes sequentially selecting individual pulses of the first plurality of signals as an output signal of a select circuit to generate an output signal having a frequency lower than the first frequency.

    摘要: A complementary metal-oxide semiconductor output driver provides a differential output signal having a particular differential voltage swing and a particular common mode voltage to a differential output node for various types of load circuits coupled to the differential output node. The load circuit may have any impedance within a particular impedance range. A current source provides a current with a variable current component that adjusts the differential voltage swing of the differential output signal. A common mode feedback circuit adjusts the common mode voltage of the differential output signal by sourcing current to the differential output node or sinking current from the differential output node. At least a portion of a current flowing into a load circuit coupled to the differential node is provided by the current source, thereby reusing current from the current source.

    摘要: A first phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit includes an input for receiving a timing reference signal from an oscillator, a controllable oscillator circuit supplying an oscillator output signal, and a multi-modulus feedback divider circuit. A second control loop circuit is selectably coupled through a select circuit to supply a digital control value (M) to the multi-modulus feedback divider circuit of the first loop circuit to thereby control the oscillator output signal. While the second control loop is coupled to supply the control value to the feedback divider circuit, the control value is determined according to a detected difference between the oscillator output signal and a reference signal coupled to the second control loop circuit at a divider circuit. While the second control loop circuit is not coupled to control the first PLL circuit, the first PLL circuit receives a digital control value to control a divide ratio of the feedback divider, the digital control value is determined at least in part according to a stored control value stored in nonvolatile storage, the stored control value corresponding to a desired frequency of the oscillator output signal.

    摘要: A phase detector detects a phase difference between a first and second signal received by a phase detector. A charge is supplied by a charge pump circuit that corresponds to the phase difference using a phase difference to charge conversion that is substantially linear and nonzero in a phase error region that includes a phase error transition region around a phase error of zero having both negative and positive phase error values. Dual determinations, q1 and q2, offset from each other are made of an appropriate charge for a given phase error between the first and second signals. The charge pump supplies as the total charge pump output a charge value representing a combination of q1 and q2, thereby providing a phase error to charge conversion that is substantially linear in the phase error transition region around zero. A first and second output of the phase detector circuit respectively supplying UP and DOWN signals to the charge pump circuit are delayed and supplied as additional outputs of the phase detector circuit and used in generating the dual charge determinations q1 and q2.

    摘要: A phase selectable divider circuit includes a select circuit receiving a plurality of signals having a common frequency and a different phase. One of the plurality of signals, having a first phase, is selected as a selector circuit output signal. A first value corresponding to the first phase is summed with a second value corresponding to a phase offset from the first phase to generate a sum indicative thereof. That sum is used to select a second one of the signals having a second phase as the next selector circuit output signal. As successive sums are generated, a pulse train is supplied by selector circuit having a desired frequency.
