Abstract: A control circuit is provided herein, which can suppress the prolongation of a delay operation, so that the sequence using the DLL circuit to adjust the delay of the internal clock signal can be finished within a predetermined execution period. A control circuit includes a delay control unit delaying an input clock signal to generate an output clock signal based on the phase difference between the input clock signal and an output clock signal. The control circuit further includes a clock control unit. When the phase difference is greater than the first predetermined amount, the clock control unit inputs a clock signal delayed from the input clock signal by a second predetermined amount to the delay control unit as the input clock signal.

Abstract: A time-to-digital converter (TDC) circuitry for converting a phase difference between an input reference signal and an input clock signal to a digitally represented output signal. The TDC circuitry comprises multiple constituent TDCs, a reference signal provider, and a digital signal combiner. Each TDC is configured to convert a phase difference between a constituent reference signal and a constituent clock signal to a digitally represented constituent output signal. The reference signal provider is configured to provide the respective constituent reference signals to each of the TDCs. In at least a parallel operation mode of the TDC circuitry, each respective constituent reference signal comprises a respectively delayed version of the input reference signal with different respective delays for at least two of the respective constituent reference signals. The digital signal combiner is configured to provide the digitally represented output signal based on the digitally represented constituent output signals of the TDCs.

Abstract: A variety of applications can include a phase frequency detector structured to track the falling edges of two input signals to detect a phase difference between the two signals and to generate one or more signals that can be used to adjust one of the signals with respect to the other when the phase difference is greater than 180 degrees. The phase frequency detector can be implemented in a phase lock loop circuit to track the falling edges of a reference clock signal and the falling edge of a feedback signal. In response to detection of the phase difference between the reference clock signal and the feedback signal being greater than 180 degrees using the falling edges of these signals, the phase frequency detector can adjust its output signals to provide for recovery of a lock condition for the reference clock signal. Additional devices, systems, and methods are discussed.

Abstract: A system includes a local oscillator (LO) signal generation circuit, a receiver (RX) circuit, and a calibration circuit. The LO signal generation circuit generates an LO signal according to a reference clock, and includes an active oscillator that generates the reference clock. The active oscillator includes at least one active component. The RX circuit generates a processed RX signal by processing an RX input signal according to the LO signal. The calibration circuit checks a signal characteristic of the processed RX signal by detecting if a calibration tone exists within a receiver bandwidth, set a frequency calibration control output in response to the calibration tone being not found in the receiver bandwidth, and output the frequency calibration control output to the LO signal generation circuit. The LO signal generation circuit adjusts an LO frequency of the LO signal in response to the frequency calibration control output.

Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide non-linearity detection and mitigation for a phase interpolator of a controlled oscillator circuit, such as a PLL. A bit stream output of a phase detector of the oscillator circuit is segmented according to multiple phase positions of the phase interpolator, forming a bit stream for each of the multiple phase positions. Each bit stream of each phase position is analyzed, and phase position errors may be detected and mitigated based on the contents of the bit streams.

Abstract: A locked loop circuit includes a controlled oscillator generate an output signal having a frequency set by an analog control signal. The analog control signal is generated by a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in response to a digital control signal and a bias compensation current signal. The bias compensation current signal is generated by a second DAC in response to a compensation control signal and a bias reference current. A compensation circuit adjusts the compensation control signal during compensation mode in response to a comparison of a frequency of the output signal to a frequency of a reference signal so as to drive the frequency of the output signal toward matching a desired frequency. The bias compensation current signal associated with the frequency match condition during compensation mode is then used during locked loop mode.
