    摘要: An ADC, such as a CT SD-ADC, includes a clock generation circuit that produces charging and discharging clock signals such that a settling time for an integrator in the ADC is increased. The clock signals may control a feedback SD-DAC in the CT SD-ADC. The clock signals also may be asymmetric and/or may result in the settling time of the integrator being greater than half the system clock.

    摘要: Implementations feature systems and techniques for phase-locked loops (PLLs). In some aspects, implementations feature a system that has a PLL circuit including an oscillator and programmable reference frequency divider circuit or a programmable feedback frequency divider circuit. The PLL includes a control circuit to reduce a time required for a PLL settling time by programming a division value into the programmable reference frequency divider circuit and/or the programmable feedback frequency divider circuit to target the oscillator to operate outside of a system operating frequency range of the oscillator during start-up of PLL operations. The control circuit can program another division value into the programmable reference frequency divider circuit and/or the programmable feedback frequency divider circuit after stabilization of the variable oscillator.

    摘要: Circuits and methods for a differential circuit involve having one of more pairs of differential transistors with back-gate terminals, where each of the back-gate terminals is biased by a tunable back-gate voltage to compensate for circuit mismatches in the differential circuit and reduce or eliminate even-order harmonics in the output signal. A compensation circuit can be configured to receive data relating to the differential output signal of the differential circuit, and to supply one or more back-gate voltages to the back-gate terminals of the differential transistors to adjust threshold voltages of the differential transistors and suppress even-order harmonics in the differential output signal of the differential circuit.

    摘要: In some implementations, a system includes a low-power voltage regulator that can switch between three power modes: a power shutdown mode, a low power mode, and a higher power mode. The system includes a selector coupled to the voltage regulator to switch between the low power mode and the higher power mode, and a switch to switch between the power shutdown mode and the low or higher power mode. The system also has a control circuit to control the switch and the selector to control operation of the voltage regulator in any of the three power modes. A total current used in the voltage regulator in the low power mode is on the order of microamps or nanoamps. The voltage regulator in the low power mode has two to more orders of magnitude of lower current use than the voltage regulator in the higher power mode.

    摘要: Embodiments feature techniques and systems for digitally tuning a crystal oscillator circuit. In one aspect, embodiments feature a method for making a digitally tuned crystal oscillator circuit. The method involves receiving a multi-bit input signal into a digital modulator, modulating the multi-bit input signal with the digital modulator by oversampling or by noiseshaping and oversampling to produce a digitally-modulated output signal having a lower number of bits than the multi-bit input signal. The method also involves coupling a tuning capacitor with the crystal oscillator circuit, and coupling the digitally-modulated output signal from the digital modulator to the crystal oscillator circuit and the tuning capacitor. In some embodiments, the digital modulator can a delta-sigma modulator, a noiseshaping modulator, a delta modulator, a pulse width modulator, a differential modulator, or a continuous-slope delta modulator.
