    摘要: Designs of devices having digital phase locked loop (DPLL) circuits that include multiple digital feedback loops to generate high frequency clock signals by a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). A time-to-digital converter (TDC) module is provided in such a DPLL circuit to receive an input reference clock signal and a first feedback clock signal from a first digital feedback loop and produces a digital TDC output indicative of a first phase error caused by a difference in time between the input reference clock signal and the first feedback clock signal. A second digital feedback loop is provided to generate a second digital feedback signal indicative of a second phase error caused by a difference in frequency between a desired clock signal and a generated clock signal generated by the DCO. The first and second digital feedback loops are coupled to the DCO to generate the high frequency clock signals.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a fractional-N digital phase locked loop (DPLL) that replaces the conventionally used time-to-digital converter (TDC) based phase detector with a bang-bang phase detector (BBPD). Compared to the TDC based phase detector, the BBPD has an often superior resolution for the same or similar amount of power and/or area consumption. Therefore, replacing the TDC based phase detector with a BBPD can reduce, or even eliminate, the common problem of spurs being added to the output signal generated by the DPLL because of the limited resolution of the TDC based phase detector. This can allow the DPLL to be used for the most demanding applications, such as in generating local oscillator signals for down-converting and demodulating weak signals received by a communication device, such as a cellular phone.

    摘要: Aspects of a method and system for direct and polar modulation using a two input PLL are presented. Aspects of the system may include generating digital signals Wn and Vn from an input data signal Un and a feedback signal Yn. The generated digital signals Wn and Vn combined may carry the information content of Un while they compensate the non-idealities of the two-input analog phase locked loop (PLL). The digital signal Wn, which may be scaled appropriately in frequency, and the digital signal Vn may be provided as inputs to the PLL. The feedback signal Yn may be a digital signal that may correspond to the analog feedback signal Pt that may be generated by the PLL. Accordingly, the PLL may be adaptively controlled via the digital signals Wn and Vn for properly transmitting the input data signal Un.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to digital phase-locked loops (DPLLs) and hybrid phase-locked loops (HPLL) for establishing and maintaining a phase relationship between a generated output signal and a reference input signal. The DPLLs use a counter based loop to initially bring the DPLL into lock. Thereafter, the DPLLs disable the counter based loop and switch to a loop with a multi-modulus divider (MMD). The DPLLs can implement a cancellation technique to reduce phase noise introduced by the MMD. The HPLLs further include a loop with a MMD. The HPLLs can implement a similar cancellation technique to reduce phase noise introduced by the MMD.
