摘要： A novel time-to-digital converter (TDC) used as a phase/frequency detector and charge pump replacement in an all-digital PLL within a digital radio processor. The TDC core is based on a pseudo-differential digital architecture making it insensitive to NMOS and PMOS transistor mismatches. The time conversion resolution is equal to an inverter propagation delay, e.g., 20 ps, which is the finest logic-level regenerative timing in CMOS. The TDC is self calibrating with the estimation accuracy better than 1%. The TDC circuit can also serve as a CMOS process strength estimator for analog circuits in large SoC dies. The circuit also employs power management circuitry to reduce power consumption to a very low level.

In exemplary embodiments: (1) a gain characteristic (KDCO) of the digitally controlled oscillator can be determined by observing a digital control word before and after a known change (Δfmax) in the oscillating frequency; and (2) a portion (TUNE_TF) of the tuning word can be dithered (1202), and the resultant dithered portion (dkTF) can then be applied to a control input of switchable devices within the digitally controlled oscillator.

摘要： A novel mechanism that is operative to observe and compare the differentiated phase of the reference and variable PLL loop signals using a frequency detector. The resultant phase differentiated error is then accumulated to yield the phase error. The operation of the loop with the frequency detector is mathematically equivalent to that of the phase detector. A frequency error accumulator is used to generate the integral of the frequency error. The frequency error accumulator also enables stopping the accumulation of the frequency upon detection of a sufficiently large perturbation, effectively freezing the operation of the loop as subsequent frequency error updates are not accumulated. Upon removal of the phase freeze event, accumulation of the frequency error and consequently normal loop operation resumes.

摘要： A novel apparatus for and method of acquisition and tracking bank cooperation in a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) within an all digital phase locked loop (ADPLL). The acquisition bits of the acquisition bank are used as an extension of the modulation range. The PLL and TX tuning data are broken up (i.e. apportioned) into acquisition components and tracking components. This permits the use of two different capacitor banks (i.e. the tracking and acquisition banks) for modulation rather than just a single capacitor bank as in the prior art schemes. Incorporating the tracking and acquisition bit varactors, the cooperation scheme of the present invention permits the re-centering of the tracking bank to handle natural frequency drift of the DCO and the widening of the modulation range.

摘要： A novel mechanism for gain normalization of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) in an all digital phase locked loop (ADPLL)-based transmitter that is operative to split the gain normalization multiplication functionality between a modulating path and a PLL loop. The gain normalization of the modulation loop (referred to as modulation path multiplier) comprises a full bit resolution high precision multiplication function. The gain normalization of the PLL loop, on the other hand, is of significantly lower resolution, hence much lower complexity multiplier logic circuitry is required.

摘要： A novel testing mechanism operative to test large capacitor arrays such as those used in a digitally controlled crystal oscillator (DCXO). The invention is adapted for use in DCXO circuits that employ dynamic element matching in their array decoding circuits. The invention combines the use of DEM during regular operation of the DCXO with a testing technique that greatly reduces the number of tests required. The invention tests the capacitors in the array on a row by row, wherein all the capacitors in a row are tested lumped together and treated as a single entity, which results in significantly reduced testing time. This permits the measurement of significantly higher frequency deviations due to the larger capacitances associated with an entire row of capacitors being tested.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of software based phase locked loop (PLL). The software based PLL incorporates a reconfigurable calculation unit (RCU) that is optimized and programmed to sequentially perform all the atomic operations of a PLL or any other desired task in a time sharing manner. An application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) incorporating the RCU includes an instruction set whose instructions are optimized to perform the atomic operations of a PLL. The RCU is clocked at a fast enough processor clock rate to insure that all PLL atomic operations are performed within a single PLL reference clock cycle.

摘要： A mixer 1100 with a plurality of signal paths typically requires separate clock generating hardware for each signal path. However, the redundancy of having multiple clock generating hardware significantly increases power consumption and integrated circuit area when the mixer 1100 is integrated into silicon. A method and apparatus 1125 containing a circuit for generating a set of clock signals that can be shared by the different signal paths is presented. Advantage is taken of the significant capacitance difference between different sampling capacitors in the mixer and the superposition property.
