    摘要: Disclosed are a digital CDR circuit and a feedback loop circuit including the same. The digital CDR circuit includes a phase detector that receives an input signal and outputs a phase detection result signal corresponding to a determination result for a sampling time based on the input signal, a charge pump that receives the phase detection result signal and outputs an amplified signal obtained by multiplying the phase detection result signal by a gain, a loop filter that receives the amplified signal and filters the amplified signal to output a filtered signal, and a phase shift control code generator that generates a control signal for controlling a phase of a signal based on the filtered signal, and the input signal includes plural data signals and plural error signals, and the data signals and the error signals are digital signals which are quantized based on a signal magnitude.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a device includes frequency generation circuitry configured to generate a clock signal, a phase-locked loop (PLL) configured to generate a local clock based on the clock signal, a receiver configured to receive a data stream from a remote clock source and recover a remote clock from the data stream, and a controller configured to find a clock differential between the local clock and the remote clock identified as a master dock, and provide a control signal to the frequency generation circuitry responsively to the clock differential, which causes the frequency generation circuitry to adjust the clock signal so as to iteratively reduce an absolute value of the clock differential between the local clock and the remote clock identified as the master clock so that the local clock generated by the PLL is synchronized with the master clock.

    摘要: A variable capacitance circuit may operate a Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) transistor or other semiconductor device to switch a capacitor in and out. Several circuits may be combined in a parallel network having offset bias voltages, such that the combined network may produce a variable capacitance over a large voltage range. The variable capacitance circuit may be incorporated into a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit where similar devices may be configured to produce a voltage reference as part of the PLL circuitry. Such a circuit may be immune to temperature, process, or voltage variances, since the current pulse magnitude times the low pass filter resistance times the sensitivity of a controlled voltage oscillator can be held constant.

    摘要: A position sensor device includes position sensor elements for generating analog sense signals. A digitization circuit is provided for a digital signal representative of the input phase based on the analog sense signals and a digital processing unit. An output signal is indicative of the position based on the first output of the processing unit. The processing unit comprises an error signal generator for computing an error signal indicative of a phase difference between the digital signal and a feedback signal. A digital filter filters the error signal to generate the first output. A feedback path provides the feedback signal based on the first output and a filter selector to select a filter to be applied from different filters. At least one input on which a common filter circuit operates is scaled differently for each of the different filters to select different filter bandwidths.
