摘要:
For decreasing errors within an analog phase-locked loop, an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) with digital components and digital operations is used. The ADPLL may also be used for direct frequency modulation (DFM). By defining a proportional path gain of an ADPLL by a bandwidth and a reference frequency of the ADPLL, by a TDC gain, a DCO gain, a dividing ratio of a frequency divider, a gain of an amplifier or a combination thereof, the gain of the amplifier may be adjusted so that an optimal loop bandwidth of the ADPLL may be well calibrated. For achieving the aim of entirely digital of the ADPLL, the gains of the TDC and the DCO may be further adjusted in a digital manner.

An error protection method for a time-to-digital converter (TDC) decoder of an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) includes: retrieving a digital code received by the TDC decoder; retrieving a cycle code received by the TDC decoder; performing an exclusive-or operation on a first predetermined bit of the digital code and a second predetermined bit of the cycle code for generating an error protection code; and using the error protection code to fix errors within the cycle code by adding the error protection code into the cycle code and shifting the cycle code by a third predetermined number of bits.
摘要:
An error predict code is added into a cycle signal for raising precision of an output signal of a time-to-digital (TDC) decoder. A cyclic TDC (CTDC) is specifically designed within a phase-frequency detector (PFD)/CTDC module of an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) for enhancing loop bandwidth calibration of the ADPLL. A calibration method is used on the PFD/CTDC module for enhancing the loop bandwidth calibration of the ADPLL as well.
摘要:
Phase error of a time-to-digital converter (TDC) within an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) is compensated by predicting possible phase error, which are predicted according to an estimated quantization error, a period of a digital-controlled oscillator (DCO), a gain of the TDC or a combination thereof. By appropriate inductions, the possible phase error may be further indicated by the quantization error, a code variance corresponding to a half of a reference period received by a TDC module having the TDC, a dividing ratio of a frequency divider of the ADPLL, a fractional number related to the quantization error or a combination thereof. A digital phase error cancellation module is also used for generating the possible phase error for compensating the phase error of the TDC.
