    Abstract: Embodiments relate to type-I PLLs that do not lock at a sub-harmonic frequency of a reference clock signal by controlling timing of charging or discharging of one or more capacitors in the PLLs. A phase frequency detector (PFD) of a type-I PLL can prevent sub-harmonic locking by generating a clear output signal to cause a sampling capacitor of PLL's loop filter to discharge only during a time period when the sampling capacitor is not being charged. For example, the PFD can include a gating element to control the time during which the clear output signal is generated. By ensuring that the sampling capacitor is not discharged during a time period while it is being charged, the PLL's voltage-controlled oscillator is controlled to oscillate at an intended frequency rather than at a sub-harmonic of the intended frequency.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to successive approximation register (SAR)-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that increase a time frame allocated for the settling of capacitors in a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) capacitor network by feeding a comparator output signal to the DAC to begin DAC capacitor settling before the comparator output is latched by a clock signal at a latching time. The SAR ADC can include a window circuit that provides the comparator output directly from the comparator to the DAC before the latching time of the comparator. After the latching time, the latched version of the comparator output is provided to the DAC capacitor. By providing the capacitor output to the DAC capacitor before latching, DAC capacitor can settle earlier compared to an SAR ADC where DAC capacitor settling begins after the latching time of the comparator.
