Abstract: The disclosure relates to technology for generating multi-phase signals. An apparatus includes 2{circumflex over ( )}n phase signal generation stages. The apparatus also includes a controller configured to provide a mode input of each of the 2{circumflex over ( )}n stages with an active periodic binary signal with remaining inputs of each of the 2{circumflex over ( )}n stages provided with another periodic binary signal to collectively generate a 2{circumflex over ( )}n phase signal in a first mode. The controller is further configured to provide the mode input of each of 2{circumflex over ( )}(n−1) odd stages with a first steady state signal and the mode input of each of 2{circumflex over ( )}(n−1) even stages with a second steady state signal with remaining inputs of each of the 2{circumflex over ( )}n stages provided with the same periodic binary signal as in the first mode to cause either the 2{circumflex over ( )}(n−1) odd stages or the 2{circumflex over ( )}(n−1) even stages to collectively generate a 2{circumflex over ( )}(n−1) phase signal in a second mode.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to technology for power supply for a voltage controller oscillator (VCO), where the power supply has a closed loop mode and an open loop mode. In closed loop mode, a peak detector circuit determines the amplitude of the output for the VCO, which is compared to a reference value in an automatic gain control loop. An input voltage for the VCO is determined based on a difference between the reference value and the output of the peak detector circuit. The peak detector circuit can be implemented using parasitic bipolar devices in an integrated circuit formed in a CMOS process. While operating in the closed loop mode, a controller monitors the input voltage and, when the input voltage is stabilized, the controller uses this input voltage value determined in open loop mode.
