    摘要: A method and mechanism for reducing lock time of a dual-path phase lock loop (PLL). The PLL comprises a dual-path low-pass filter (LPF). The LPF includes a first filter and a second filter. The first filter comprises a passive second-order lead-lag low-pass filter. The second filter comprises a first-order lag low-pass filter. During a lock-acquisition state, an impedance value within the second stage is bypassed, which increases the loop bandwidth of the PLL. In addition, a resistance within the first stage is increased in order to increase the gain of the first stage and maintain stability within the PLL. During a lock state, the impedance value may no longer be bypassed and the increased resistance may be returned to its original value.

    摘要: A method and circuitry for calibrating the gain of a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a circuit includes a comparator configured to provide a first indication if the VCO gain is not within the specified gain range, and a second indication if the VCO is within the specified gain range. The circuit further includes a control unit configured to, upon occurrence of at least a first cycle of a clock signal, cause adjustment of the VCO gain responsive to receiving the first indication. For each one or more successive cycles of the clock signal, the control unit is configured to cause corresponding adjustments of the VCO gain until the comparator provides the second indication. The control unit is configured to discontinue adjustments to the VCO gain responsive to receiving the second indication.

    摘要: A circuit and method for calibrating a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a circuit includes a VCO and a bias control circuit coupled to a tail node of the VCO. An amplitude control unit may also be coupled to the tail node, wherein the amplitude control unit is configured to determine the amplitude of a VCO output signal based on a voltage present on the tail node. The amplitude control unit may also be configured to generate a bias voltage based on the amplitude of the VCO output signal and a target voltage. The bias control circuit may be coupled to receive the bias voltage from the amplitude control unit and may be further configured to adjust the voltage on the tail node based on the received bias voltage.
