摘要： A time-to-digital converter converts the difference between transition times of a reference clock signal and an oscillating signal to a digital signal whose value is proportional to the transitions timing difference. The time-to-digital converter includes an edge detector, a time-to-voltage converter, and an analog-to-digital converter. The edge detector is adapted to detect, during each period of the reference clock signal, the edge (transition) of the oscillating signal that is closest to the edge of the reference clock signal. The time-to-voltage converter is adapted to generate an analog signal proportional to a difference in time between the detected edge of the oscillating signal and the edge of the reference clock signal. The analog-to-digital converter is adapted to convert the analog signal to a digital signal whose value is proportional the difference between the occurrence of the detected edge of the oscillating signal and the edge of the reference clock signal.

摘要： A feedforward nonlinearity cancellation scheme is used to improve the linearity of a low noise amplifier (LNA). An LNA incorporates a main amplifier and an auxiliary amplifier couple to receive the same input. The outputs of the main amplifier and the auxiliary amplifier are also coupled. The auxiliary amplifier may be implemented as a very low power auxiliary amplifier having a very low linearity. The output of the auxiliary amplifier contains third-order intermodulation (IM3) products that are of similar amplitude, but opposite phase, to the IM3 products generated by the main amplifier. With the outputs of the main amplifier and the auxiliary amplifier coupled, their respective IM3 products are summed together and effectively cancel each other out. As a result, the output of the LNA contains substantially no IM3 products, and the linearity of the LNA is substantially improved.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A time-to-digital converter (TDC) can have a resolution that is finer than the propagation delay of an inverter. In one example, a fractional-delay element circuit receives a TDC input signal and generates therefrom a second signal that is a time-shifted facsimile of a first signal. The first signal is supplied to a first delay line timestamp circuit (DLTC) and the second signal is supplied to a second DLTC. The first DLTC generates a first timestamp indicative of a time between an edge of a reference input signal to the TDC and an edge of the first signal. The second DLTC generates a second timestamp indicative of a time between the edge of the reference input signal and an edge of the second signal. The first and second timestamps are combined and together constitute a high-resolution overall TDC timestamp that has a finer resolution than either the first or second timestamps.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Aspects generally relate to reducing delay, or phase jitter, in high speed signals transmission. Variations in power supply to ground potential changes the amount of delay introduced by transmit circuity into the signal being transmitted, resulting in jitter, or phase noise, in the transmitted signal. To reduce phase jitter, or phase noise, aspects disclosed include a variable impedance circuit coupled to the signal distribution network, the impedance level of the variable impedance circuit is adjusted in response to variation in the supply to ground potential, such that the delay introduced by the impedance compensates for changes in the delay due to variations in supply to ground potential, resulting in substantially constant delay.

摘要： One feature pertains to a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) that comprises a variable capacitor and noise reduction circuitry. The variable capacitor has a variable capacitance value that controls an output frequency of the DCO. The variable capacitance value is based on a first bank capacitance value provided by a first capacitor bank, a second bank capacitance value provided by a second capacitor bank, and an auxiliary bank capacitance value provided by an auxiliary capacitor bank. The noise reduction circuitry is adapted to adjust the variable capacitance value by adjusting the auxiliary bank capacitance value while maintaining at least one of the first bank capacitance value and/or the second bank capacitance value substantially unchanged. Prior to adjusting the variable capacitance value, the noise reduction circuitry may determine that a received input DCO control word transitions across a capacitor bank sensitive boundary.
