Abstract:
Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for open-loop voltage regulation and drift compensation for a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). In embodiments, a communication circuit may include a DCO, an open-loop voltage regulator, and a calibration circuit. The open-loop voltage regulator may receive a calibration voltage and may generate a regulated voltage. The regulated voltage may be passed to the DCO. During a calibration mode, the calibration circuit may compare the regulated voltage to a reference voltage and adjust the calibration voltage based on the comparison to provide the regulated voltage with a target value. During a monitoring mode, the calibration circuit may receive a tuning code that is used to tune the DCO and further adjust the calibration voltage based on a value of the tuning code.
Abstract:
Described herein is an integrated circuit which comprises: a first buffer, with positive trans-conductance, to drive a first signal with first phase; and a second buffer, with negative trans-conductance, to drive a second signal with second phase, wherein the first buffer and the second buffer are cross-coupled to one another.

Abstract:
Some embodiments include apparatus having sampling circuitry, a first circuit path, a second circuit path, and a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). The sampling circuit samples an input signal and provide data information and phase error information based on the input signal. A first circuit path provides proportional control information based on the data information and phase error information. A second circuit path provides integral control information based on the data information and phase error information. The first circuit path operates at a frequency higher than the second circuit path. The DCO generates a clock signal and controls the timing of the clock signal based on the integral control information and the proportional control information.
