    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.

    Abstract: A circuit may comprise a first node, a ring oscillator, a regulator, and a Kvcc compensation circuit. The first node may be a supply node to provide a supply voltage for the circuit. The ring oscillator may be formed from inverters. The regulator may use a single transistor between the first node and a second node for powering the oscillator. The K compensation circuit may be used to provide to the oscillator a variable capacitive load that is dependent on the supply at the first supply node, and it may drag oscillator frequency down when the first node supply goes up.

    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.
