    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for glitch-free bandwidth switching in a phase-locked loop (PLL). One example PLL generally includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) comprising a first variable capacitive element and a second variable capacitive element and a bandwidth adjustment circuit comprising a first switch in parallel with a resistor of a resistor-capacitor (RC) network. The bandwidth adjustment circuit is configured to open the first switch for a first bandwidth mode, close the first switch in a transition from the first bandwidth mode to a second bandwidth mode, and control a capacitance of the second variable capacitive element based on a voltage of a node of the RC network.

    Abstract: Clock and data recovery (CDR) circuits and resettable voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the CDR circuit includes a sampler configured to receive a data stream in a data path and sample the data stream. However, a clock signal of the data stream needs to be recovered to sample the data stream since the data stream may not be accompanied by the clock signal. To recover the clock signal from the data stream, the CDR circuit may have a resettable VCO configured to generate a clock output. The sampler and the resettable VCO may be operably associated so that the sampler samples the data stream in the data path based on the clock output. The resettable VCO can be reset to adjust a clock phase of the clock output and help reduce sampling errors resulting from drift of the clock output and/or the data stream.

    Abstract: A phase frequency detector (PFD) isolates supply (e.g., voltage supply) to a reference path and a feedback path of a phase locked loop (PLL) such that the power supply to the reference path is independent of the power supply to the feedback path. This isolation improves linearity. In one instance, the PFD includes a supply voltage, one or more switches, a reference capacitor and a feedback capacitor. The reference capacitor is selectively coupled to the supply voltage via the one or more switches and the feedback capacitor is selectively coupled to the supply voltage via the one or more switches.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed for time-to-digital conversion with a latch-based ring. In example aspects, the IC includes a ring, a counter, an encoder, and time-to-digital converter (TDC) control circuitry. The ring includes multiple ring stages and propagates a ring signal between successive ring stages. Each respective ring stage includes latch circuitry to secure a state of the ring signal at the respective ring stage. The ring provides a ring output signal using the latch circuitry of each of the ring stages. The ring is coupled to the counter. The counter increments a counter value responsive to the ring signal and provides a counter output signal based on the counter value. The encoder is coupled to the ring and the counter. The encoder generates a TDC output signal based on the ring and counter output signals. The TDC control circuitry operates the ring responsive to a TDC input signal.

The clock/data recovery circuit may also include a phase detector circuit that receives the serial data burst. The phase detector circuit is coupled to the oscillator. The phase detector circuit adjusts the oscillator to maintain the lock onto the phase of the serial data burst during the serial data burst.
