摘要： A phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a spur cancellation circuit that receives a residue signal indicative of a first frequency and receives a residual phase error signal and generates a spur cancellation signal. A summing circuit combines the spur cancellation signal and a first phase error signal corresponding to a phase difference between a reference signal and a feedback signal in the PLL and generates a second phase error signal with a reduced spurious tone at the first frequency.

摘要： A fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a nonlinear time to digital converter that generates a digital representation of a phase error corresponding to a time difference between a feedback signal of the fractional-N PLL and a reference signal. A nonlinear quantization noise cancellation circuit supplies a correction signal to ensure that the generated digital representation has reduced quantization noise. The correctional signal may be applied in the analog or digital domain.

摘要： A capacitance-to-digital converter circuit utilizes a capacitor bridge circuit to sense a difference in capacitance between sense capacitors and fixed capacitors in the bridge circuit. The sense capacitors vary according to a sensed parameter. Auxiliary capacitor digital to analog converters (DACs) are coupled to the capacitor bridge circuit to cancel the sensed difference. An analog to digital converter (ADC) receives a signal generated by the capacitor bridge circuit and the auxiliary capacitor DACs and converts the received signal to a digital signal. A digital accumulator accumulates the ADC output, whose output represents the difference in capacitance between the sense capacitors and the fixed capacitors. The accumulator output is used to control the auxiliary capacitor DACs to offset the difference in capacitance between the sense capacitors and the fixed capacitors. The accumulator output also provides the basis for the capacitance-to-digital circuit output.

摘要： An amplifier topology achieves enhances DC gain to improve linearity while maintaining a good signal to noise ratio. The amplifier includes an amplifier output stage that supplies an amplifier output signal. The amplifier also includes a sense amplifier that augments the output stage. The sense amplifier is coupled to the amplifier input to control current through the output stage in order to achieve reduced voltage variation at the amplifier input as a function of the amplifier output signal voltage as compared to a basic common source amplifier and thereby enhances DC gain of the amplifier.

摘要： Quantization noise in a fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) is canceled using a capacitor-based digital to analog converter (DAC). A phase error is detected between a reference signal and a feedback signal in the PLL. A charge pump circuit charges a first capacitor circuit based on the phase error to generate a phase error voltage corresponding to the phase error. The capacitor based DAC generates a quantization error correction voltage based on a digital value corresponding to the quantization error, which is then combined with the phase error voltage to cancel the quantization error.

摘要： A hybrid analog/digital control approach for a digitally controlled oscillator augments a digital control path with an analog control path that acts to center the digital control path control signal within its range. The digital control path controls a first group of varactors within an oscillator tank circuit using a digital filter and a delta sigma modulator, which generates a dithered control signal for at least one of the first group of varactors. The analog control path controls a second group of varactors in the tank circuit but actively tunes only one varactor at a time. The analog control path performs relatively low bandwidth centering of the digital control signal resulting in negligible impact on PLL bandwidth, stability, and noise performance. Instead, the digital control path dominates in setting the PLL dynamic and noise behavior, and has reduced range requirements due to the centering action.
