    摘要: A system and method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of a frequency generator suppresses phase noise and noise generated from mismatches in the internal generator circuits. This is accomplished using a modulation scheme which shifts spurious noise signals outside the loop bandwidth of the generator. When shifted in this manner, the noise signals maybe removed entirely or to any desired degree using, for example, a filter located along the signal path of the generator. In one embodiment, a Sigma-Delta modulator controls the value of a pulse-swallow frequency divider situated along a feedback path of a phase-locked loop to achieve a desired level of noise suppression. In another embodiment, a reference signal input into a phase-locked loop is modulated to effect noise suppression. In another embodiment, the foregoing forms of modulation are combined to accomplish the desired frequency shift. Through these modulation techniques, the signal-to-noise ratio of the frequency generator may be substantially improved while simultaneously achieving faster lock times.

    摘要: A phase-locked loop (PLL) fractional-N type frequency synthesizer incorporates a sample-and-hold circuit. The synthesizer can reduce circuit size by eliminating a loop filter. Further, the synthesizer can incorporate fractional spur compensation circuitry to compensate charge pump ripple whenever a charge pump operates. The synthesizer or fractional-N type PLL can use a divider and at least two phase detectors coupled to a sample-and-hold circuit. A lock detecting circuit can initially determine a reference voltage for the sample-and-hold circuit. Also, fractional compensation is accomplished dynamically and in a manner that is robust to environmental changes while a control voltage is stably maintained for the voltage controlled oscillator.

    摘要: An integrated circuit package includes an inductance loop formed from a connection of lead wires and one or more input/output (I/O) package pins. In one embodiment, the inductance loop is formed from a first wire which connects a first bonding pad on the integrated circuit chip to a first I/O pin of the package and a second wire which connects a second bonding pad on the chip to a second I/O pin of the package. To complete the inductor loop, the first and second I/O pins are connected by a conductive bridge between the pins. The bridge may be formed by making the I/O pins have a unitary construction. In another embodiment, the bridge is formed by a metallization layer located either on the surface of the package substrate or within this substrate. The I/O pins are preferably ones which are adjacent one another; however, the loop may be formed from non-adjacent connections of I/O pins based, for example, on loop-length requirements, space considerations, and/or other design or functional factors. By forming the inductor loop within the limits of the integrated circuit package, a substantial reduction in space requirements is realized, which, in turn, promotes miniaturization. Also, the integrated circuit may be implemented in any one of a variety of systems, at least one parameter of which is controlled by the length of the inductor loop of the package.
