    摘要: A duty-cycle adjustment circuit receives a differential pair of input signals and generates an output signal based on the differential pair. The duty-cycle adjustment circuit drives the output signal to a logic-high state based on transitions of a first polarity in a first input signal of the differential pair, and drives the output signal to a logic-low state based on transitions of the first polarity in a second input signal of the differential pair. For example, rising-edge transitions of the output signal may be aligned with rising-edge transitions of the first input signal, and falling-edge transitions of the output signal may be aligned with rising-edge transitions of the second input signal. Alternatively, rising-edge transitions of the output signal may be aligned with falling-edge transitions of the first input signal, and falling-edge transitions of the output signal may be aligned with falling-edge transitions of the second input signal.

    摘要: In one example, a current steering circuit includes an output transistor pair responsive to a first gate bias voltage. The current steering circuit further includes a first switch comprising a first source-coupled transistor pair coupled to the output transistor pair and responsive to a first differential gate voltage, and a second switch comprising a second source-coupled transistor pair coupled to the output transistor pair and responsive to a second differential gate voltage. The current steering circuit further includes a current source configured to source a bias current. The current steering circuit further includes a third switch comprising a third source-coupled transistor pair coupled between the current source and each of the first switch and the second switch, the third source-coupled transistor pair responsive to a third differential gate voltage.

    摘要: A clock divider circuit receives an input clock signal having a first frequency (f) and generates an output signal having a frequency equal to f/N, where N is an odd integer. The clock divider circuit includes an edge counter to count a number of consecutive edges of the input clock signal having a first plurality, and to assert a control signal when a threshold number (N) of consecutive edges has been counted. The clock divider circuit also includes a frequency multiplier to generate an intermediate clock signal having a frequency equal to 2f/N by doubling the frequency of the control signal based at least in part on transitions of the input clock signal, and a frequency divider to generate an output clock signal having a frequency equal to f/N by halving the frequency of the intermediate clock signal.
