    • In one set of embodiments, the invention comprises a system and method for automatically trimming the center frequency of a VCO in a PLL. The trimming may be performed by a digitally controlled trimming circuit, which may be operated to modify a gain of the VCO and may be used as part of a clock recovery architecture or as part of a high-end PLL. It may also be used by itself in low-end PLLs. In one embodiment, a second loop based solely on the frequency difference between a reference frequency and a divided output frequency of the VCO is introduced into the PLL loop. This frequency loop may be optimized by the inclusion of a gain control stage, which may lower the locking time. A control module may also be introduced to delay the deployment of the phase detector until the frequency loop has fully converged, that is until trimming has been completed, thus preventing the two loops from interfering with each other and compromising each other's performance.
    • 在一组实施例中,本发明包括用于在PLL中自动调整VCO的中心频率的系统和方法。 可以通过数字控制的微调电路执行修整,该电路可以被操作以修改VCO的增益,并且可以用作时钟恢复架构的一部分或作为高端PLL的一部分。 它也可以在低端PLL中自己使用。 在一个实施例中,仅基于VCO的参考频率和分频输出频率之间的频率差的第二回路被引入PLL环路。 该频率环可以通过包括增益控制级来优化,这可以降低锁定时间。 还可以引入控制模块来延迟相位检测器的部署,直到频率回路完全收敛,即直到修整已经完成,从而防止两个回路相互干扰并且彼此的性能相抵消。

    • A current-mode direct conversion RF receiver is presented. In one set of embodiments the RF receiver comprises a simple transconductor input stage to create a current-mode modulated signal from a voltage-mode modulated signal. A downconversion mixer may be coupled to the transconductor input stage via a low impedance current cascode stage, and may operate to create a set of current-mode quadrature baseband signals from the current-mode modulated signal. The downconversion mixer may be implemented with a transistor-switching network, which may be driven by a phase locked loop (PLL) with quadrature outputs. The set of current-mode quadrature baseband signals may be converted back to the voltage domain by a transimpedance filter, which may perform channel selection for the receiver. The transimpedance filter may additionally include a low frequency zero to remove DC offsets. The receiver may be implemented using CMOS design technologies and operated with minimal self-mixing effects, minimal DC offset in the baseband signal, and utilizing low voltages.

    • A linear, half-rate clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit for recovering clock information embedded in a received data signal. The half-rate CDR circuit comprises a phase detector that may receive the data signal and generate a phase error signal representative of the phase difference between the received data signal and a clock signal produced by a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) of the CDR circuit. The half-rate CDR typically changes the frequency of the clock signal and generates a clock signal that is aligned with the baud center of the received data signal. More specifically, when the half-rate CDR circuit is in a locked condition, both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal are aligned with the baud center of the received data signal. The half-rate CDR preferably generates a clock signal with an average frequency that is half the data rate of a received data signal.
