Abstract: In a method and apparatus for enabling fast clock phase locking in a phase-locked loop, a sampling clock generator generates sampling clock signals in response to an oscillator output of the phase-locked loop. A detector unit samples an input digital signal to the phase-locked loop at clock edges of the sampling clock signals to obtain multiple sampling points of the input digital signal, and compares logic levels of each temporally adjacent pair of the sampling points to detect presence of a logic level transition in the input digital signal. A selector unit is controlled by the detector unit to select one of the sampling clock signals, which has one of the clock edges thereof defining an interval that was detected to have occurrence of the logic level transition in the input digital signal, and which is subsequently provided to the phase-locked loop as an input phase-locking clock signal.

Abstract: A bias circuit for virtual ground non-volatile memory array with bank selector, utilizes static pull-up transistors connected respectively to all bit lines of the memory array. The gates of the static pull-up transistors are connected to a predetermined reference voltage for supplying a global bias voltage to the bit lines. Another predetermined reference voltage, acting as a local bias voltage, is supplied to a deselected virtual ground bit line which is adjacent to the selected data sense bit line. By these two bias techniques, the leakage current of the adjacent deselected "ON" memory cells is minimized; as a result, the stability of the current detector is largely enhanced; the probability of erroneous data reading is reduced; the operating voltage margin of the memory devices is enlarged; and the data accessing is expedited.

Abstract: A differential-type voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with low-frequency stability compensation is disclosed. The differential-type VCO comprises a voltage-to-current converter for converting an input voltage signal into a biasing current signal to control the frequency of the VCO output. The VCO further comprises a number of stages of differential amplifiers connected in cascade. Each of the stages of differential amplifiers includes a pair of differential input PMOS transistors, with each of the PMOS transistors connected to a pair of NMOS load transistors. Each of the pair of NMOS load transistors are connected in parallel. The VCO further comprises a number of stages of bias circuits connected in cascade. Each of the bias circuits is connected to a corresponding stage of the differential amplifiers for receiving the bias current generated by the voltage-to-current converter. Each of the stages of bias circuits comprises a current source for supplying a constant current to maintain the low-frequency voltage-frequency linearity of the output of the VCO, and a biasing PMOS transistor connected in parallel with said current source.
