Abstract:
A phase locked loop includes a pulse limiter between a phase frequency detector and a charge pump. The phase frequency detector generates and sends a clock pulse to the pulse limiter. The pulse limiter generates a first signal that indicates that the clock pulse is greater than a minimum pulse width of the phase frequency detector. The pulse limiter receives a pulse limiter buffer selection signal that selects one buffer of a plurality of buffers within the pulse limiter. The pulse limiter generates a second signal that indicates a truncated pulse width as the minimum pulse width of the phase frequency detector plus a delay period that is associated with the pulse limiter buffer selection signal. The pulse limiter truncates the clock pulse to the truncated pulse width and sends the truncated clock pulse to the charge pump.
Abstract:
A clock delay circuit is configured to generate a delayed clock signal based on an input clock signal, the delayed clock signal delayed by a delay time (T DEL ). The circuit includes a current mirror configured to generate starved currents based on the reference current, a plurality of inverters, and a Schmitt trigger configured to generate an output signal in response to the input clock signal, wherein the Schmitt trigger output signal increases from a low signal to a high signal over a period (T CHARGE ) correlated with T DEL . Some inverters and the Schmitt trigger are configured to be current starved when the input clock signal is high and are configured to be shorted to ground and the reference current when the input clock signal is low. T DEL is based on T CHARGE and T CHARGE is based on C, N TOP , V ST , High , and a supply voltage.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a duty-cycle adjuster (1220) including a first inverter (1235), a first multiplexer (1240), a high-phase extender (1250), a second inverter (1265), and a second multiplexer (1270). The first multiplexer (1240) has a first input (1242), a second input (1244), a select input (1246), and an output (1248). The first input (1242) of the first multiplexer (1240) is coupled to the signal input (1222) of the duty-cycle adjuster (1220), and the select input (1246) of the first multiplexer (1240) is coupled to the first control input (1226). The first inverter (1235) is coupled between the signal input (1222) of the duty-cycle adjuster (1220) and the second input (1244) of the first multiplexer (1240).
Abstract:
Duty cycle sampling circuitry is disclosed that may generate offsets that cancel each other out, thereby improving the accuracy of duty cycle sampling of input clock signals based on sampling clock signals. The input clock input signals may be swapped, or the sampling clock signals may be swapped, or both may be swapped, at various times. Erroneous samples obtained in one configuration can cancel out other erroneous samples obtained in another configuration.
