    Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) device includes: 1) a detector configured to output an error signal to indicate a phase offset between a feedback clock signal and a reference clock signal; 2) a charge pump coupled to the detector and configured to output a charge pump signal based on the error signal; 3) an integrator with a feedback path, an input node, a reference node, and an output node, wherein the input node is coupled to the charge pump and receives the charge pump signal; 4) a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) coupled to the output node of the integrator via a resistor; and 5) a feedforward circuit coupled directly to the detector and configured to apply an averaged version of the error signal to correct a voltage level received by the VCO.

    Abstract: A fractional-N frequency synthesizer that suppresses integer boundary spurs. A frequency synthesizer includes a fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL) and a reference frequency scaler. The reference frequency scaler is coupled to a reference clock input of the PLL, the reference frequency scaler includes a programmable frequency divider, and a programmable frequency multiplier connected in series with the programmable frequency divider. Each of the divider and multiplier is configured to scale a reference frequency provided to the PLL by a programmable integer value.

    Abstract: A transmitter comprises an antenna array demultiplexor having a first input for an output signal, a second input for a control signal, a first output coupled to a first output pin, and a second output coupled to a second output pin. The antenna array demultiplexor provides the output signal to the first or second output based on the control signal. The first and second output pins are coupled to first and second antennae, respectively. In some implementations, the transmitter includes a transformer and a capacitor coupled in parallel between the first and second output pins, and the antenna array demultiplexor comprises a first switch coupled between the first output pin and a first ground pin, and a second switch coupled between the second output pin and a second ground pin. The first switch receives a second control signal, and the second switch receives an inverse of the second control signal.

    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a switched capacitor circuit, a comparator, and a control circuit. The switched capacitor circuit has a switch control input and an output, and includes switches coupled to the switch control input and coupled to capacitors. The comparator has an input coupled to the output of the switched capacitor circuit and has an output. The control circuit has a switch control output coupled to the switch control input, has an input coupled to the output of the comparator, and provides switch control signals at the switch control output. Responsive to the switch control signals, the switched capacitor circuit provides an output signal to the comparator that is based on a sample of an analog input signal acquired in a sample acquisition cycle and based on a digital sample value output by the ADC prior to the sample acquisition cycle.
