Abstract: Disclosed is a method of locking a locked loop quickly, including receiving an input signal having an input frequency, and generating an intermediate signal having an intermediate frequency intended to be equal to a geometric mean of the input frequency and a desired frequency, but not equal. Results of division of the desired output frequency by the intermediate frequency are estimated, producing a first divider value. A first locked loop utilizing a controllable oscillator is activated. A divider value of the first locked loop is set to the first divider value, and the intermediate signal is provided to the first locked loop, so that when the first locked loop reaches lock, the controllable oscillator produces the desired frequency. When the first locked loop reaches lock, a second locked loop that utilizes the controllable oscillator is activated, the first locked loop is deactivated, and generation of the intermediate signal is ceased.

Abstract: A method of dividing a clock signal by an input signal of N bits with M most significant bits is described herein. The method includes dividing the clock signal by the most significant bits of the input signal 2N-M−1 times out of 2N-M divisions of the clock signal, using a divider. The clock signal is divided by a sum of the most significant bits and the least significant bits one time out of 2N-M divisions of the clock signal, using the divider. The clock signal is also divided by 2N-M, 2N-M times, using the divider.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first circuit block operating with a first clock signal and a second circuit block operating with a second clock signal. The first circuit block includes a clock phase generator that receives the first clock signal and outputs a plurality of phase signals. The first circuit block includes a phase selector that receives the phase signals and the second clock signal and selects one of the phase signals based on the second clock signal. The first circuit block transmits data to the second circuit block based on the selected phase signal.

Abstract: A divider circuit includes a subtract-by-two circuit receiving MSBs of an input and producing a subtracted-by-two output, a subtract-by-one circuit receiving the MSBs and producing a subtracted-by-one output, a first multiplexer passing the subtracted-by-two or the subtracted-by-one output based on a first control signal, a second multiplexer passing output of the first multiplexer or the MSBs based on a second control signal to produce an asynchronous divisor. An asynchronous one-shot N+2 divider divides an input clock by the asynchronous divisor to produce a first divided signal. An output flip-flop receives the first divided signal and is clocked by an inverse of the input clock to produce a second divided signal. A third multiplexer passes the first divided signal or the second divided signal in response to a select load signal to produce a multiplexer output. A divider divides the multiplexer output by a set divisor to produce an output clock.

Abstract: A delay line includes a delay chain, a pulse generator generating a pulse based on a received input signal, and a delay chain control circuit. The delay chain control circuit has a first input receiving the pulse, a second input receiving output from a last element of the delay chain, and a selection input receiving a delayed version of the received input signal. The delay chain control circuit has an output coupled to provide input to a first element of the delay chain in response to the delayed version of the received input signal. An output selection circuit receives outputs from each element of the delay chain, counts assertions of the output of the last element of the delay chain and, in response to the count being equal to a desired count, passes a desired one of the outputs of the elements of the delay chain as output.
