Abstract: Track-and-hold charge pumps and PLL are provided. A track-and-hold charge pump includes a track-and-hold circuit, a transconductance amplifier, a pulse width modulator (PWM), and a pumping switch coupled to the transconductance amplifier. The track-and-hold circuit samples an input signal according to a reference clock. The transconductance amplifier converts the sampled input signal into a current. The PWM provides a PWM signal according to the reference clock. The pumping switch is controlled by the PWM signal, to provide an output current according to the current.

Abstract: A controlling circuit for ring oscillator is provided. First and second transistors of a first conductive type are coupled in series and between a node and a first power source. Third and fourth transistors of a second conductive type are coupled in parallel and between the node and a second power source. The node is coupled to a delay chain of the ring oscillator. The second and third transistors form a pseudo pass-gate inverter. An input of the pseudo pass-gate inverter is configured to receive an output signal of the delay chain. The first and fourth transistors are controlled by a realignment signal. When the realignment signal is in a realignment state, the first transistor is turned off and the fourth transistor is turned on, and when the realignment signal is in a normal state, the first transistor is turned on and the fourth transistor is turned off.

Abstract: Hybrid phase lock loop (PLL) devices are provided that combine advantages of the digital controlled loop and the analog controlled loop. For example, a hybrid PLL includes a digital controlled loop that receives a reference input signal and an output signal of the hybrid PLL, and generates a digital tuning word. The hybrid PLL further includes an analog controlled loop that receives the reference input signal and the output signal of the hybrid PLL, and generates an output voltage. The hybrid PLL also includes a hybrid oscillator. An oscillator controller of the digital controlled loop controls the hybrid oscillator using the digital tuning word and disables the analog controlled loop during a frequency tracking operational mode of the hybrid PLL. The oscillator controller enables the analog controlled loop to control the hybrid oscillator during the phase tracking operational mode of the hybrid PLL.
