    摘要: A circuit includes an output node; a first current source coupled via at least one first switch to at least the output node and a calibration node, wherein the first switch alternately operably couples the first current source to the output node or the calibration node; a second current source of opposing polarity to the first current source and operably coupled via at least one second switch to at least the output node and the calibration node, wherein the second switch alternately operably couples the second current source to the output node or the calibration node; and a current control circuit having an adjustment circuit operably coupled to the calibration node, wherein the current control circuit couples both the first and second current sources to the calibration node when a current from the first/second current source is not to be used as an output from the output node.

    摘要: A regenerative frequency divider comprising an in-phase mixer circuit and a phase-shifted mixer circuit. At least one switching device of the in-phase mixer circuit is of a smaller scale than a corresponding switching device of the transconductance component of the in-phase mixer circuit. In some examples, at least one switching device within an input switching stage of the regenerative frequency divider forming part of the phase-shifted mixer circuit is of a smaller scale than a respective corresponding switching device within the input switching stage forming part of the in-phase mixer circuit. In some further examples, all switching devices within the phase-shifted mixer circuit are of a small scale than respective corresponding switching devices within the in-phase mixer circuit.
