摘要: According to an aspect, there is provided an all-digital phase-locked loop, ADPLL, for a radio receiver, transmitter or transceiver. The ADPLL comprises a time-to-digital converter for generating a digital time signal based on an external reference clock signal and a feedback signal, a switched capacitor digitally controlled oscillator, SC-DCO, for generating a radio frequency signal used as the feed-back signal, a phase-locked loop for controlling the SC-DCO based on the digital time signal for achieving a phase and frequency lock and digital processing means. The digital processing means are configured to maintain, in at least one memory, a lookup table defining a plurality of switching configurations of the SC-DCO corresponding to a plurality of frequencies of the radio frequency signal and to cause the phase-locked loop controller to adjust the switching configuration of the SC-DCO according to the lookup table.

摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) features a delay-locked loop (DLL) with a DLL signal input. The DLL comprises a delay line with multiple delay stages, a gater with clock input, and a phase-frequency detector (PFD). The delay line's signal input is linked to the DLL signal input, while the gater's inputs are connected to phase outputs of the delay line. The gater's clock input is tied to the DLL signal input, and its outputs feed into the PFD inputs. The PFD generates outputs that are used by a loop filter to control the speed of the delay line.

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: This disclosure is directed towards systems and methods that improve bandwidth shifting operations of an ADPLL without losing a lock of the ADPLL and having the benefit of being able to change the bandwidth an unlimited amount of times. Indeed, a processor may transmit amplification parameters to the ADPLL to implement a bandwidth shift. The shift may occur in response to a enable signal, such as a gear trigger control signal (gear_retime signal) or a enable signal generated to cause alignment of the shifting with a clock signal (e.g., enable signal generated by AND logic gates). These systems and methods described herein many enable multiple bandwidth changing operations to occur without compromising the complexity and footprint of the system.

摘要: A DLL includes a delay line with two phase outputs, a gater coupled with the delay line phase outputs, a PFD coupled with gater outputs, a PD coupled with PFD outputs, a retimer coupled with PD outputs, and a loop filter with inputs coupled with the retimer and a speed control output coupled with the delay line. The gater passes signals on its two inputs to its two outputs, apart from a first pulse on its first input. The PD determines if the second gated signal leads or lags the first gated signal. The retimer retimes PD output signals to be aligned with a delay line input signal. The loop filter uses the retimed PD output signals to determine if the delay line should delay more or delay less, and outputs a speed control signal to control the delay line speed.

摘要: An element includes a coupling line in which a first conductor layer, a dielectric layer, and a second conductor layer are stacked in this order, and which is connected to the second conductor layer in order to mutually synchronize a plurality of antennas at a frequency of a terahertz wave; and a bias line connecting a power supply for supplying a bias signal to a semiconductor layer and the second conductor layer. A wiring layer in which the coupling line is formed and a wiring layer in which the bias line is formed are different layers. The bias line is disposed in a layer between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer.

摘要: A method for operating a data interface circuit whereby calibration adjustments for data bit capture are made without disturbing normal system operation includes initially establishing, using a first calibration method where a data bit pattern received by the data interface circuit is predictable, an optimal sampling point for sampling data bits received by the data interface circuit, and during a normal system operation and without disturbing the normal system operation, performing a second calibration method where the data bit pattern received by the data interface circuit is unpredictable. The second calibration method determines an amount of a timing drift for received data bit edge transitions and adjusts the optimal timing point determined by the first calibration method to create a revised optimal timing point. The second calibration method samples fringe timing points associated with the transition edges of a data bit.

摘要: A circuit includes an RF oscillator coupled in a phase-locked loop. The phase-locked loop is configured to receive a digital input signal, which is a sequence of digital words, and to generate a feedback signal for the RF oscillator based on the digital input signal. The circuit further includes a digital-to-analog conversion unit that includes a pre-processing stage configured to pre-process the sequence of digital words and a digital-to-analog-converter configured to convert the pre-processed sequence of digital words into the analog output signal. The circuit includes circuitry configured to combine the analog output signal and the feedback signal to generate a control signal for the RF oscillator. The pre-processing stage includes a word-length adaption unit configured to reduce the word-lengths of the digital words and a sigma-delta modulator coupled to the word-length adaption unit downstream thereof and configured to modulate the sequence of digital words having reduced word-lengths.
