    摘要: The present invention provides a system for providing high-resolution calibration of a programmable semiconductor component (518). The system calibrates the programmable semiconductor component, within a desired accuracy, to a goal value (802). The system provides a primary DAC function (510) and a supplemental DAC function (512), as well as a control function (506). The control function is utilized to determine a first bit step (806) of the primary DAC function that corresponds to the goal value. The control function then determines a second bit step (810) of the supplemental DAC function that corresponds to the goal value. The bit codes of the first and second bit steps are combined by a summing function (514), to provide a programming control word for the programmable semiconductor component.

    摘要: A technique is provided for achieving efficient modulation compensation of a &Sgr;&Dgr; fractional PLL. The parameters of the PLL TF are the gain, Kpll, of the PLL and the time constants associated with the loop filter. A careful design of the PLL allows setting the poles and zeros of the PLL TF to fixed values, independent of process and temperature. The unknown parameters of the system are then reduced to one: the PLL gain, K which is the product of the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), Phase Detector (PD) and divider gains. One unknown variable can be then determined via a single equation, that can be derived at a single frequency. The measurement of a low frequency modulated single tone, for example, is sufficient to characterize the entire PLL TF.

    摘要: A sample-and-hold (SAH) phase detector (PD) is clocked in such a way (using a reverse clocking mode) so as to avoid quantization noise increases due to folding that is generally associated with conventional charge pump based phase detectors. The PD is clocked with a clean clock (reference clock), rather than a divided clock. The SAH PD architecture additionally includes an integrated filtering function.

    摘要: A power supply noise rejection circuit for functional circuits, such as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The power supply noise rejection circuit includes an isolation transistor connected to a voltage supply for providing an output current and voltage substantially free of noise across the full frequency range. A current source, a diode connected reference transistor with resistance means connected between its gate and drain terminals, and a dummy circuit serially connected between the voltage supply and ground generate a bias voltage that is applied to the gate of the isolation transistor. The dummy circuit mimics the DC characteristics of the functional circuit such that the output current tracks with process and temperature variations. The isolation transistor and the reference transistor can have negative threshold voltages, and the circuit can include bleed means for drawing current from the gate of the reference transistor and isolation transistor.

    摘要: Programmable linear-in-dB or linear bias current source with respect to an input voltage is provided. The linear-in-dB or linear bias current may be clipped at a minimum current level, a maximum current level, or a combination thereof. Preferably, the minimum and maximum current levels are determined by the use of one or more constant current sources. The constant current sources limit the amount of voltage applied to the gates of one or more transistors, which in turn control the output current. The use of the circuit may be used to generate linear or reverse-linear current levels with respect to an input voltage. The output of the current generator may be used as an input to a power-amplifier driver, for example.
