    • A phase locked loop circuit is provided which includes a phase/frequency detector which uses a divider circuit and feedback from a clock distribution tree to generate INC and DEC pulses which do not have "dead zones". A pair of charge pumps receives the INC and DEC pulses. One charge pump is a differential pump and has a voltage controlled common mode feedback circuit to maintain a common mode controlled voltage. A differential current is outputted to a loop filter capacitor by this charge pump. The other charge pump is a single-ended output pump which supplies current to a current controlled oscillator which also receives input from a voltage to current converter. The current controlled oscillator includes a variable resistance load which varies inversely with the magnitude of the input current. A jitter control circuit is also provided which reduces jitter in the current controlled oscillator output in the locked phase. Also, a lock indicator is provided which is time independent, and provides a lock indication when the loop enters the locked condition.

    • An improved configuration of a capacitor formed with FET technology and a resistor and/or conductor is provided. In this configuration a capacitor is formed in which the diffusion zone of the substrate is used as one plate of the capacitor and what would normally be the gate electrode of an FET is used as the other plate of the capacitor, with the two plates being separated by a conventional thin dielectric gate oxide layer. An insulator, such as silicon dioxide overlays the gate electrode, and electrical connections to the gate electrode and diffusion zone are made through the insulator to allow the two plates of the capacitor to be connected to various devices or components as required. The top surface of this insulation layer is also used to form metal resistors. Depending on the value of required resistance, a second insulating layer may be used and a second level of metal used to connect segments of the resistors formed on the first layer of metal to form a longer resistor. This second layer of metal may also be used to form inductors. Moreover both inductors and resistors can be formed; however this may require a third layer of metal for connection purposes.

    • Disclosed are current sink and source circuits, a charge pump that incorporates them, and a phase locked loop that incorporates the charge pump. The current sink and source circuits each have a current mirror that biases a transistor connected to an output node. These circuits each further have a two-stage feedback amplifier to sense the current mirror drain voltage and to control the transistor gate voltage in order to stabilize the current mirror drain voltage independent of output voltage at the output node. The amplifier also increases output resistance at the output node. This configuration allows for a wide operation voltage range and ensures good circuit performance under a very low power supply. A charge pump that incorporates these circuits generates highly matched charging and discharging currents. A PLL that incorporates this charge pump exhibits minimal bandwidth shifts and minimal locking speed and jitter performance degradation.

Specifically, the embodiments of the BIST circuit incorporate both a digital delay locked loop and a Vernier delay line, for respectively coarse tuning and fine tuning portions of the circuit. Additionally, the BIST circuit is variable, as the resolution of the circuit changes from chip to chip, and digital, as it is implemented with standard digital logic elements.
