    摘要: A level shifter includes an input node, an output node, a pull-up transistor, a pull-down transistor, and at least one diode-connected device coupled between the pull-up transistor and the pull-down transistor. The level shifter is arranged to be coupled to a high power supply voltage, to receive an input signal having a first voltage level at the input node, and to supply an output signal having a second voltage level at the output node. The high power supply voltage is higher than the first voltage level. The at least one diode-connected device allows the output signal to be pulled up to about a first diode voltage drop below the high power supply voltage and/or to be pulled down to about a second diode voltage drop above ground. The first diode voltage drop and the second diode voltage drop are from the at least one diode-connected device.

    摘要: An inductor-capacitor phase locked loop (LCPLL) includes an inductor-capacitor voltage controlled oscillator (LCVCO) that provides an output frequency. A calibration circuit includes two comparators and provides a coarse tune signal to the LCVCO. The two comparators respectively compare the loop filter signal with a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage that is higher than the first reference voltage to supply a first and second comparator output, respectively. The calibration circuit is capable of adjusting the coarse tune signal continuously in voltage values and adjusts the coarse tune signal based on the two comparator outputs. A loop filter provides a loop filter signal to the calibration circuit and a fine tune signal to the LCVCO. A coarse tune frequency range is greater than a fine tune frequency range.

    摘要: A phase interpolator for a CDR circuit produces an output clock having level transitions between the level transitions on two input clocks. The input clocks drive cross-coupled differential amplifiers with an output that can be varied in phase by variable current throttling or steering, according to an input control value. The differential amplifiers produce an output signal with a transition spanning a time between the start of a transition on the leading input clock up to the end of the transition on the lagging input clock. The output clock is linear so long as the transitions on the two input clocks overlap. Active integrators each having an amplifier with a series resistance and capacitive feedback path are coupled to each input to the cross-coupled differential amplifiers, which enhances overlap of the input clock rise times and improves the linearity of the interpolated output signal.
