    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A low dropout regulator produces output at an intermediate node. A resistive divider is coupled between the intermediate node and ground and provides a feedback signal to the low dropout regulator. A transistor has a first conduction terminal coupled to the intermediate node and a second conduction terminal coupled to an output node. A first impedance is coupled to the output node, a first switch selectively couples the first impedance to a supply node, a second impedance coupled to the output node, and a second switch selectively couples the second impedance to a ground node. Control circuitry is coupled to the control terminal of the transistor and to control terminals of the first and second switches. The control circuitry switches the electronic device to a power down mode by turning off transistor, closing the first and second switches, and turning off the low dropout regulator.

    摘要: An electronic device disclosed herein includes a locked loop circuit configured to receive a reference signal intended to have an intended frequency, wherein the locked look circuit is intended to generate an intended output signal having an intended frequency equal to the intended frequency multiplied by an intended multiplier. A frequency counter counts a number of pulses of the reference signal during a time window so as to determine an actual frequency of the reference signal. A control circuit determines an actual multiplier for the locked loop circuit that, when multiplied by the actual frequency of the reference signal, causes the locked loop circuit to generate an actual output signal having an actual frequency equal to the intended frequency.

    摘要: A circuit generates a compensation signal that can remove noise in a VCO introduced by a supply signal (i.e., supply-side noise). The circuit includes two transistors connected in series. A resistor is connected between the gate of the first transistor and the supply signal, and a capacitor is connected between the gate of the second transistor and the supply signal. The circuit is designed so that the transconductance of one transistor is greater than or equal to twice the transconductance of a second transistor. The compensation signal is supplied through a capacitor, which compensates for capacitors in a VCO, to an internal supply node of the VCO. At the internal supply node, the compensation signal removes (or greatly reduces) the noise introduced by the supply signal noise, resulting in a less-noisy output signal from the VCO.

    摘要: In a method for recovery of a dock from a received digital data stream and an apparatus for recovering a clock from a received digital data stream, phase-shifted dock signals are generated from a receiver's dock. After selecting one of the phase-shifted clock signals, two other phase-shifted clock signals are determined. Depending on sample values taken at rising/falling edges of the three selected phase-shifted clock signals, counter values are increased and compared. The selection of phase-shifted clock signals and the steps of sampling the input digital data stream, comparing the values and increasing counter values, if required, are repeatedly performed until the comparison result of the counter values indicates that one of the latter determined phase-shifted clock signals strobes the received digital data stream in the center of a bit period.

    摘要: An oscillator circuit powered by a source voltage generates an oscillating output signal. The oscillating output signal is level shifted and applied to a first input of a multiplexer. A second input of the multiplexer receives the oscillating output signal. The multiplexer selects one of the oscillating output signal and the level shifted oscillating output signal for output as a selected oscillating output signal in response to a select signal. A locked loop circuit generates controls a frequency of the oscillating output signal as a function of the selected oscillating output signal and a reference oscillating signal. The select signal further selects one of a reference voltage and the source voltage of the oscillator circuit as an error amplifier reference voltage for a voltage regulator circuit that generates the first power supply voltage.
