    摘要: A deadlock detection circuit 20 determines that deadlock occurs, sets a switching signal 106 to H level when a control voltage 104 exceeds an upper limit set in advance, and set the switching signal to L level when the control voltage 104 is lower than a lower limit set in advance. When the switching signal 106 reaches H level, multiplexers 12, 13 perform switching, so that, in place of a reference clock signal 101, an L level signal is input to a phase frequency detector 14, and, in place of a feedback clock signal 107, the reference clock signal 101 is input to the phase frequency detector 14.

    摘要: A phase-locked loop circuit includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) that generates a VCO clock in response to a voltage control signal, a divider that divides the VCO clock to output a division clock, a phase-frequency error detector that receives a reference clock and outputs a first error compensation signal, a sampler that receives the reference clock and oversamples the reference clock at a rising edge or a falling edge to output a sampling clock, a window phase error detector that receives the reference clock and outputs a second error compensation signal, a residue phase error detector that outputs a third error compensation signal, an adder that accumulates the first error compensation signal, the second error compensation signal, and the third error compensation signal to output a final error compensation signal, and a loop filter that converts and output the final error compensation signal into the voltage control signal.

    摘要: A system and method for testing or determining a phase noise and/or jitter of a phase locked loop (PLL). The system includes a first PLL configured to generate a first clock signal based on a reference clock signal, a first buffer for providing the reference clock signal to the first PLL, a mixer configured to mix the first clock signal with a second clock signal, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to convert an output of the mixer to digital data, and a processing circuit configured to process the digital data to determine a phase noise or jitter of the first PLL and generate an output indicative of the phase noise or jitter of the first PLL. The system may include a second PLL configured to generate the second clock signal based on the reference clock signal, and a second buffer for providing the reference clock signal to the second PLL.

    摘要: A sub-sampling phase lock loop includes samplers that obtain sampled values by sampling clock signal phases corresponding to a clock signal generated by a voltage controlled oscillator at sampling edges of reference signal phases of a reference signal generated by a reference clock generator over a reference clock cycle; and a phase detector that selects a phase for a particular instant of the reference signal based on at least one sampled value satisfying a predetermined criteria, the phase corresponding to a clock signal phase value and a reference signal phase value respectively selected from the clock signal and reference signal phases, the phase detector tracks the selected phase at every successive instant of the reference signal, and determines a sampled value associated with the selected phase in every successive instant of the reference signal; and a processing unit that acquires frequency information based on the tracking of the selected phase.

    摘要: A device includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) having a reference input. The device has a storage element and a reference clock generator having an interface clock input, a reference clock output, and a programmable clock divider. The reference clock generator is coupled to the storage element. The reference clock output is coupled to the reference input. The reference clock generator is configured to change a divide ratio for the programmable clock divider based on a value in the storage element such that a frequency of the reference clock output remains unchanged when a frequency of the interface clock input changes.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method for low frequency periodic signaling (LFPS) and/or squelch detection are provided. A circuit can include a threshold generator situated to receive a differential input signal from an initiator device and generate a differential voltage threshold signal based on the differential input signal, an amplifier circuit electrically coupled to the threshold generator situated to amplify the differential voltage threshold signal resulting in an amplified threshold signal, a sampler situated to sample the amplified threshold signal at a first clock rate faster than a clock rate of an LFPS/squelch signaling frequency resulting in digital sample results, and a pattern filter circuit situated to determine if the digital sample results are asserted for each of a specified number of consecutive clock cycles at the first clock rate.
