    Abstract: A delay circuit includes a delay line configured to output an output signal by imposing a delay value on an input signal. The delay circuit further includes an arithmetic unit configured to calculate a control code for the delay value based on delay codes. The delay circuit further includes a delay locked loop (DLL) configured to generate the delay codes based on a clock signal. The delay circuit further includes a controller configured to suspend operation of the DLL when the clock signal operates at a first frequency, to set the DLL to operate based on a second frequency when the DLL is suspended, and to resume operation of the DLL when the clock signal operates at the second frequency without the need to relock the DLL.

    Abstract: The smart lock-in circuits basically include a sensor, two stacked PMOS transistors, two stacked NMOS transistors, and a feedback line. If the sensing voltage does not reach the expected voltage compared to the midpoint voltage of the sensor, the output voltage of the sensor turns on the corresponding transistor, which provides a current to its output until the voltage at feedback reaches the midpoint voltage. The time to reach the midpoint voltage at a filter is simply equal to the charge stored at the filter divided by the current, which can be scaled by a device aspect ratio of the transistor. Consequently, all smart lock-in circuits provide an initial loop condition closer to the expected loop condition according to schedule.

    Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator with automatic center frequency calibration. The frequency range of the oscillator is increased by switchable capacitor circuits which add or remove extra capacitors in parallel with the variable capacitor of the resonant circuit. Different voltage versus frequency characteristics are obtained. The switchable capacitor circuits are controlled by a detection circuit that sends a reset pulse to a feedback circuit of the VCO when a control voltage from the feedback circuit reaches predetermined low or high voltage limits of the characteristics. Upon reception of the reset pulse, the feedback circuit changes the control voltage from the reached limit into an intermediate voltage between the low and high voltage limits. The control voltage is reset in the middle of a voltage versus frequency characteristic onto which the output frequency is also centered. The VCO includes a selection circuit adapted to immediately change the value of the control voltage.

    Abstract: A phase lock loop circuit comprises a variable frequency oscillator having a control input and an output, a divider having an input coupled with the output of the oscillator and an output coupled with the first input of a phase or frequency comparator. The comparator has a second input for a reference frequency (F.sub.REF) and an output coupled with the oscillator control input for providing a signal which is related to the difference in phase or frequency of the signals at the first and second inputs to effect phase locking of the oscillator to the reference signal. A detector provides a switching signal when the control signal falls outside a predetermined range and a switch in the phase lock loop is responsive to the switching signal to open the loop.
