    摘要: A PLL includes a charge pump, a loop filter, a VCO, and a calibration unit. The calibration unit performs coarse tuning to select one or multiple frequency ranges, performs fine tuning to determine an initial control voltage that puts the VCO near a desired operating frequency, measures the VCO gain at different control voltages, and derives VCO gain compensation values for the different control voltages. The calibration unit also pre-charges the loop filter to the initial control voltage to shorten acquisition time, enables the loop filter to drive the VCO to lock to the desired operating frequency, and performs VCO gain compensation during normal operation. For VCO gain compensation, the calibration unit measures the control voltage, obtains the VCO gain compensation value for the measured control voltage, and adjusts the gain of at least one circuit block (e.g., the charge pump) to account for variation in the VCO gain.

    摘要: A high linear fast peak detector having a variable bias current and/or a variable bias voltage is described. In an exemplary design, the peak detector includes a transistor, a variable current source, a capacitor, and a feedback circuit. The transistor receives the input signal and provides a source current. The variable current source receives the input signal, provides high bias current when the input signal is low, and provides low bias current when the input signal is high. The capacitor is charged by the source current when the input signal is high and is discharged by the high bias current when the input signal is low. The feedback circuit receives a detected signal from the capacitor and provides higher bias voltage for the transistor when the input signal is high, which results in higher source current from the transistor.

    摘要: A transceiver for multi-standard operation (usable, for example, to communicate signals both of a first wireless communication standard and of a second wireless communication standard) has a mixer that receives a local oscillator signal generated by a local oscillator. A PLL of the local oscillator involves a VCO, a digitally programmable analog loop filter, a digitally programmable VCO supply voltage circuit, and a digitally programmable VCO varactor bias control circuit. In one aspect, the bandwidth of the analog loop filter is adjusted depending on the communication standard of the signal being communicated. In other aspects, the VCO supply voltage circuit and/or the varactor bias control circuit are configured in different ways to optimize PLL performance depending on the communication standard of the signal being communicated.

    摘要: A resonator of a VCO includes a fine tuning main varactor circuit, an auxiliary varactor circuit, and a coarse tuning capacitor bank circuit coupled in parallel with an inductance. The main varactor circuit includes a plurality of circuit portions that can be separately disabled. Within each circuit portion is a multiplexing circuit that supplies a selectable one of either a fine tuning control signal (FTAVCS) or a temperature compensation control signal (TCAVCS) onto a varactor control node within the circuit portion. If the circuit portion is enabled then the FTAVCS is supplied onto the control node so that the circuit portion is used for fine tuning. If the circuit portion is disabled then the TCAVCS is supplied onto the control node so that the circuit portion is used to combat VCO frequency drift as a function of temperature. How the voltage of the TCAVCS varies with temperature is digitally programmable.

    摘要: Within a mobile communication device (for example, a cellular telephone), there is a local oscillator. The local oscillator includes a novel frequency divider that includes a novel configurable multi-modulus divider (CMMD). The frequency divider is configurable into a selectable one of multiple configurations involving different mixes of synchronous and asynchronous circuitry. In each configuration, the frequency divider produces an amount of noise and consumes an amount of power. Power consumption is loosely inversely related to noise produced in that the modes with the highest power consumption produce the least amount of noise, and vice versa. The mobile communication device is operable in one of multiple different communication standards (for example, GSM, CDMA1X and WCDMA). The different communication standards impose different noise requirements on the frequency divider. By using the lowest power configuration that satisfies the noise requirements of the standard being used, power consumption of the cellular telephone is reduced.
