    Abstract: A feed-forward bias circuit biases body bias terminals of transistors of another circuit to compensate for PVT variations in the other circuit. In some aspects, the feed-forward bias circuit compensates for transistor process corners in a circuit by enabling the generation of different bias signals under different corner conditions. In some implementations, the feed-forward bias circuit is used to bias a delay circuit so that the delay circuit exhibits relatively constant delay characteristics over different PVT conditions.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit device (200) includes a first and second differential I/O pins (TRXP/TRXN) and a surge protection circuit. The surge protection circuit includes a protection transistor, a positive surge detection circuit, and a negative surge detection circuit. The protection transistor is connected between the first and second I/O pins and has a gate to receive a control signal (CTRL). The protection transistor is turned on to connect the I/O pins together if the positive surge detection circuit detects a positive surge energy on either of the I/O pins and/or if the negative surge detection circuit detects a negative surge energy on either of the I/O pins. The surge protection circuit provides increased protection for Ethernet device against undesirable energy in a manner that does not adversely affect the performance of the device.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed that that can improve robustness of digital phase locked loop (PLL) circuits. A method performed by a clock generation device includes generating a plurality of phase-shifted signals, each of the plurality of phase-shifted signals having a phase shift with respect to a base clock signal that is unique within the plurality of phase-shifted signals, selecting a first phase-shifted signal as an output signal, generating a first phase control word indicative of a second phase-shifted signal when the second signal has a closer phase relationship with a reference signal than the first signal, refraining from selecting the second signal as the output signal while either of the first signal and the second signal is in a first signaling state, and selecting as the output signal, the second signal when the first signal and the second signal are in a second signaling state.
