    摘要: A programmable phase locked-loop (PLL) active filter circuit is provided which includes networks of cooperating bandwidth tuning components to select bandwidth ranges. The values and arrangement of the network of selectable series input (R1) resistors are chosen to be useful in both low band and high band settings. Likewise, the opamp network of feedback resistors (R2) and capacitors (C1) values are chosen to be useful in both low band and high band applications, automatically pairing with the R1 selection in response to a bandwidth range selection. These tuning components, internal to an integrated circuit, can be used for a plurality of wideband loops. External components can be used to supplement the internal components for low and high bandwidth applications.

    摘要: A high-speed, half rate phase detector provides an effective solution to the problem of XOR gate response to the minimum width signal precursors (Q1 and Q2) of a phase signal that indicates a phase difference between a data signal and a clock signal by combining the precursor signals in a multiplexer and combining the multiplexed signal with the data signal in an XOR gate. This affords the transition information in the transitions of the precursor signals, which is significant of phase difference, without requiring the XOR gate to respond to the minimum widths of those pulses.

    摘要: Circuitry for a phase locked loop (PLL) includes a reference signal input and a frequency doubler. The output of the frequency doubler is a second reference signal having a frequency that is approximately twice that of the initial reference signal, and which is fed into the PLL. The frequency doubler includes a first delay circuit having an input coupled to the input of the frequency doubler; and an XOR circuit having a first input coupled to an output of the delay circuit and a second input coupled to the input of the frequency doubler. The frequency doubler can include one or more additional delay circuits in series after the first delay circuit, the output of which is provided to a multiplexer. The multiplexer includes a selection signal input for selecting an output from at least one of the delay circuits to be provided to the XOR circuit. The frequency doubler allows the PLL to have a smaller feedback divider ratio and a higher loop gain for reducing jitter. The frequency doubler is provided with selection control for programming multiple frequencies.
