    • A system and method are disclosed related to calibrating a power-on gating window for a time-to-digital converter (TDC) of a digital phase locked loop (DPLL). The gating window is calibrated to ensure proper operation of the DPLL, while at the same time operating the TDC in a power efficient manner. In particular, the technique entails setting the width of the TDC gating window to a default value; operating the DPLL until the control loop is substantially locked; decreasing the width of the TDC gating window by a predetermined amount, while monitoring the phase error signal generated by the phase error device of the DPLL; determining the current width of the TDC gating window at substantially a time when the phase error arrives at or crosses a predetermined threshold; and increasing the current width of the TDC gating window by a predetermined amount to build in a margin of error for the operating width of the TDC gating window.

    • An apparatus comprising a programmable frequency device adapted to generate a reference clock selected from a set of distinct frequency clocks, wherein the programmable frequency device is further adapted to maintain the same temporal relationship of the triggering edges of the reference clock when switching between the distinct frequency clocks. The apparatus further comprises a phase locked loop (PLL), such as a digital PLL (DPLL), that uses the selected reference clock to establish a predetermined phase relationship between an input signal and an output signal. By maintaining substantially the same temporal relationship of the reference clock when switching between distinct frequency clocks, the continual and effective operation of the phase locked loop (PLL) is not significantly disturbed while changing the reference clock. This may be used to control the power consumption of the apparatus.

    • A local oscillator includes a phase-locked loop. The phase-locked loop includes voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a novel VCO control circuit. The VCO control circuit may be programmable and configurable. In one example, an instruction is received onto the VCO control circuit to change the power state of the VCO. The instruction is issued by other circuitry in response to a detected change in RF channel conditions (for example, a change in a signal-to-noise determination) in a cellular telephone. In response, the VCO control circuit outputs control signals that gradually widen the loop bandwidth of the PLL, then gradually change the VCO bias current to change the VCO power state, and then narrow the loop bandwidth of the PLL back to its original bandwidth. The entire process of widening the PLL bandwidth, changing the VCO power state, and narrowing the PLL bandwidth occurs while the PLL remains locked.

    • A bi-polar modulator that can perform quadrature modulation using amplitude modulators is described. In one design, the bi-polar modulator includes first and second amplitude modulators and a summer. The first amplitude modulator amplitude modulates a first carrier signal with a first input signal and provides a first amplitude modulated signal. The second amplitude modulator amplitude modulates a second carrier signal with a second input signal and provides a second amplitude modulated signal. The summer sums the first and second amplitude modulated signals and provides a quadrature modulated signal that is both amplitude and phase modulated. The first and second input signals may be obtained based on absolute values of first and second modulating signals, respectively. The first and second carrier signals have phases determined based on the sign of the first and second modulating signals, respectively. Each amplitude modulator may be implemented with a class-E amplifier.
