    摘要: An all digital phase locked loop system for tracking a variable frequency input signal and method of operation are described. The ADPLL system includes a digital phase locked loop, including a digitally controlled oscillator, and a model of the digitally controller oscillator. The model represents the behaviour of the digitally controlled oscillator as a function of frequency and has a model input arranged to receive a signal indicating a current target frequency. The model is configured to output at least one control signal to control the frequency of the digitally controlled oscillator to be closer to the current target frequency. The digital phase locked loop is configured to control the digitally controlled oscillator to reduce any difference between the frequency of the digitally controlled oscillator and the current target frequency arising from any deviation of the model of the digitally controlled oscillator from the digitally controlled oscillator.

    摘要: A high spectral purity swept local oscillator including a tracking filter. The output of a swept DDS oscillator may be improved by filtering it with a band-pass filter having an adjustable center frequency, which is adjusted in real time to track the instantaneous frequency of the DDS oscillator. The tracking may be accomplished by comparing, using a phase comparator, the phase at the output of the band-pass filter to the phase at its input, and feeding back to the frequency control input of the band-pass filter a signal corresponding to the phase difference measured by the phase comparator.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide a phase-locked loop (PLL). The PLL includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a detector module, and a ramp module. The VCO has a first capacitor unit and a second capacitor unit. The VCO is configured to generate an oscillating signal having a frequency based on a first capacitance of the first capacitor unit and a second capacitance of the second capacitor unit. The detector module is configured to generate a voltage signal as a function of the oscillating signal and a reference signal. The voltage signal is used to control the first capacitor unit to stabilize the frequency of the oscillating signal. The ramp module is configured to generate a ramp signal based on the voltage signal. The ramp signal is used to control the second capacitor unit to ramp the second capacitance from a first value to a second value.

    摘要: The invention relates to an electronic circuit making it possible to extract a clock signal from an incident binary data sequence arriving at a constant rate. The electronic circuit comprises an oscillator (VCO) with voltage-controlled frequency providing a sinusoidal signal, a circuit (R, Cp, RD, I1, I2) for extracting the transition edges of the binary sequence producing a brief pulse at each transition, a sampler (MLT) for tapping off the level of the sinusoidal voltage at the instant of the brief pulse, and an integrator (AOP, R1, C1) for integrating this level in tandem with the successive pulses, the output of the integrator being applied as control voltage to the oscillator with controlled frequency, the output of the oscillator being the desired clock frequency with a slaved phase passing through zero substantially in the middle of the interval between two binary data transitions. Such a circuit is useful in applications for transmitting digital data of serial type, in which the data are received without at the same time receiving a clock signal.

    摘要: A phase locked loop (“PLL”) includes a voltage controlled oscillator (“VCO”) operable to acquire and maintain lock at a selected output frequency of the VCO and control logic operable to perform steps in a method of selecting a frequency band for operating the VCO. Such method can include switching the VCO to a given operating band from among the plurality of operating bands of the VCO; determining a band center frequency at which the VCO oscillates in the given operating band when the control voltage is set to a center of a range of minimum to maximum control voltages [CVmin, CVmax]; determining a difference between the band center frequency and the selected output frequency when the selected output frequency is within the given operating band; switching the VCO to another operating band; repeating the above steps until a difference between the band center frequency and the selected output frequency increases; and selecting the operating band for operation of the VCO for which the difference between the band center frequency and the selected output frequency is smallest.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing frequency compensation over a wide range of frequency drift are shown. The preferred embodiment utilizes a sweep mode function to provide frequency compensation over a range of frequency drift broader than the frequency drift accommodated by a phase lock loop, without increasing the noise characteristics of the phase lock loop. Accordingly, the preferred embodiment operates in a phase lock loop mode while frequency drift can be compensated for by the lock range of the phase lock loop circuitry. The preferred embodiment operates in sweep mode to step through a range of offset frequencies to position the phase lock loop mode where frequency drift can be compensated for by the lock range of phase lock loop circuitry. Additionally, a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a drift mode in order to monitor frequency offset information, such as may be used in performing sweep mode functions and/or other control or management functions.

    摘要: An apparatus for controlling a phase-locked loop includes a detector for detecting at least one of a startup condition and a yank condition and a controller for controlling current between a charge pump and the phase-locked loop. If a startup condition is detected, the controller sinks current from a control node connected to a loop filter of the phase-locked loop. This, in turn, causes a bias voltage to increase until the phase-locked loop transitions from startup mode to a normal acquisition mode. The current sink is provided by a dummy charge pump and the startup condition is determined by detecting the end of a PLL disable state. If a yank condition is detected, a charge pump connected to a phase-frequency detector of the phase-locked loop controls the bias voltage until a feedback frequency becomes lower than a reference frequency. Methods for controlling a phase-locked loop during both modes of operation may use of the aforementioned apparatus.
