    摘要: Disclosed is a circuit, such as a clock conditioner, that provides an improved ability to exit from holdover operations, most notably during conditions where the clock signal inputs to a PLL of the clock conditioner are significantly out of phase. The circuit utilizes the PLL to generate output clocks based on a reference clock and a feedback clock. During holdover mode, the PLL is unlocked. When the reference clock becomes available and holdover mode can be exited, a holdover controller issues a reset signal that triggers a synchronization of the phases of the inputs to the PLL. The reset signal causes the feedback divider component that generates the feedback clock input to reset its phase and adjust its divide ratio for at least the first divide cycle after restart so that its next rising edge will be phase-aligned with the reference clock. Once the two inputs of the PLL phase detector are phase-aligned, the PLL is re-enabled and the PLL smoothly resumes normal operation.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure support a method and apparatus for fast frequency throttling and re-locking in a phase-locked loop (PLL) device. Aspects of the present disclosure present a method and apparatus for operating in an open loop control (OLC) mode of the PLL device for generating a periodic signal. During the OLC mode, clocking of circuitry interfaced with a digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) of the PLL device can be disabled. A PLL output frequency associated with the periodic signal generated by the DCO can be controlled directly through a digital control word input into the DCO.

    摘要: An oscillator of a phase-locked loop (PLL) or frequency-locked loop (FLL) may include two inputs. The two inputs may include a first analog input and a second digital input. The second digital input may receive a digital signal setting a desired output clock frequency of the oscillator and/or indicating an approximate frequency of frequency range for output by the oscillator. The first analog input may receive a voltage representative of a desired frequency for the output clock frequency of the PLL or FLL to fine-tune the output frequency from the approximate frequency set by the second digital input. The first analog input may be generated from a master clock input signal. When the master clock input signal disappears, the second digital signal controls the output frequency of the oscillator to allow redundant operation of the PLL or FLL even when no master clock input signal is present.

    摘要: A synchronization device has a normal-signal generator, a reference-signal generator, and a phase difference detector. The normal-signal generator generates a normal signal whose timing is synchronized with a time signal from a satellite. The reference-signal generator generates a reference signal whose timing is synchronized with a received signal. The phase difference detector detects the phase difference between the reference signal and the normal signal. The normal-signal generator then controls the normal signal on the basis of the phase difference when the time signal cannot be obtained.

    摘要: A clock conditioning circuit including a phase detector circuit configured to provide an analog tuning signal indicative of a phase relationship between a reference clock to be conditioned and a generated clock. The controlled oscillator is configured to produce the generated clock, with the generated clock having an output frequency adjustable in response to an analog tuning signal applied to a control signal input of the controlled oscillator. Converter circuitry is provided to produce a digital representation of the analog tuning signal when the mode control circuitry is in a tracking mode. In the event the reference clock is lost, the mode control circuitry switches to a holdover mode so as to provide an analog holdover signal to the control signal input based upon the digital representations produced just prior to the loss of the reference clock.

    摘要: A clock system includes a digital phase/frequency detector (DPFD), a buffer, a digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) including a sigma-delta modulator (SDM), an adder, a first frequency divider. The DPFD may have a first input for a reference input clock, a second input for a feedback signal, the DPFD generating an output representing a difference between the reference input clock and the feedback signal. The buffer may be coupled to the DPFD for storing the difference signal over time. The SDM may have a control input coupled to the buffer. The adder may have inputs coupled to the SDM and a source of an integer control word. The first frequency divider may have an input for receiving an external clock signal and a control input coupled to the adder, the DCO generating an output clock signal having an average frequency representing a frequency of the external clock signal divided by (N+F/M).
