摘要： A lock detection circuit operatively associated with a phase-locked loop indicates when a feedback clock signal is locked to a reference clock signal. The lock detection circuit counts the number of rising and falling edges of the feedback clock signal that are detected between rising edges of the reference clock cycle. The lock detection circuit counts the number of consecutive valid cycles of the reference clock signal during which a single rising edge and a single falling edge of the feedback clock signal are detected. Lock detection circuit asserts a lock signal when the number of consecutive valid cycles counted exceeds a predetermined number. Where the lock detection circuit indicates locked signals and then detects a reference clock cycle that is not valid, lock detection circuit continues to indicate lock if the next reference clock cycle is valid relative to a skewed feedback clock signal.

摘要翻译：与锁相环可操作地相关联的锁定检测电路指示何时将反馈时钟信号锁定到参考时钟信号。锁定检测电路对在参考时钟周期的上升沿之间检测到的反馈时钟信号的上升沿和下降沿的数量进行计数。锁定检测电路对在其中检测到反馈时钟信号的单个上升沿和单个下降沿的参考时钟信号的连续有效周期的数量进行计数。当连续的有效周期数超过预定数量时，锁定检测电路使用状态机来声明锁定信号。如果锁定检测电路指示锁定信号，然后检测到无效的参考时钟周期，则如果下一个参考时钟周期相对于偏斜反馈时钟信号有效，锁定检测电路将继续指示锁定。

摘要： A loop filter of a compensating phase-locked loop contains capacitors formed from transistors with thin gate oxide dielectric layers. Leakage current leaks through the capacitors. To avoid jitter in the output signal of the phase-locked loop that would otherwise be caused by the leakage current, a leakage compensation circuit is provided. The leakage compensation circuit of a first embodiment replicates the leakage current using a replication capacitor and a current mirror. The voltage across the replication capacitor is proportional to the control voltage of a voltage-controlled oscillator of the compensating phase-locked loop. A second embodiment generates the compensation current by controlling the voltage on the gate of a transistor. The gate voltage depends on charge added and subtracted by a charge pump in addition to the charge pumps in the loop filter. A third embodiment applies a leakage compensation circuit to a delay locked loop.

摘要： Receiving units with inputs that may be ground-terminated and with inputs that are selectively ground-terminated or non-ground terminated are enabled with signal level shifting and a termination mode selection input. In a first exemplary implementation, a receiving unit is capable of having ground-terminated inputs. However, common mode voltage of the signal that is input to decoding data recovery circuitry is above ground because the input signal may be level shifted in between the ground-terminated inputs and the decoding data recovery circuitry. In a second exemplary implementation, a mode selection is accomplished by switching a voltage divider into operation and bypassing a level shifter for a non-ground terminated mode. For a ground terminated mode, the voltage divider is switched out of operation and the level shifter is switched into operation for its signal output to be decoded. Pre-amplification may also be employed to improve signal strength.

摘要： Multi-mode signal drivers with a single output circuit that may be controlled using a mode select input and that may include a common mode (CM) voltage compensation mechanism are described. In a first exemplary implementation, a multi-mode output driver is adapted to drive signals from a single output circuit according to at least two modes, such as a current mode logic (CML) signaling mode and a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) mode. In a second exemplary implementation, a circuit comprises a quasi-LVDS output driver in which a differential amplifier circuit is connected in series with an adjustable resistive element and a programmable current source. In a third exemplary implementation, a CM voltage of an output driver circuit changes with changes to a programmable bias current. To compensate, a feedback mechanism provides a compensation signal to a variable resistive element of the output driver circuit to maintain a desired CM voltage.
