Abstract: Technologies are generally described for quadrature -based injection- locking of ring oscillators. In some examples, an external signal may be injected into a ring oscillator. Phase signals may be measured from within the ring oscillator and used to determine a mean quadrature error (MQE) that characterizes the difference in frequency between the external signal and the ring oscillator's natural frequency. A control signal may then be generated from the MQE and used to adjust the ring oscillator natural frequency to reduce the difference between the ring oscillator natural frequency and the external signal.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit includes an application unit, a correlator, an integrator and a power supply noise canceller. The application unit applies the test signal to a power supply voltage. The correlator extracts a frequency error signal as a monitor signal and calculates a correlation value for the test signal and the monitor signal to generate a correlation signal. The integrator integrates the correlation signal to generate an integral signal. The power supply noise canceller provides a cancellation gain corresponding to the integral signal to the power supply voltage to which the test signal is applied, to generate a control signal.

Abstract: To prevent an undesired operating mode of voltage-controlled oscillation (VCO) circuitry from dominating a desired operating mode (e.g., an in-phase operating mode or an out-of-phase operating mode), a supply reset and ramp pulse may be provided to the VCO circuitry when switching to a new mode, such that supply voltage to the VCO circuitry is reset (e.g., set to 0 V or another reference voltage), and gradually increased or ramped up back to a steady-state voltage (e.g., used to maintain a mode) within a time duration. Additionally or alternatively, a switch control bootstrap pulse may be provided to the VCO circuitry that is bootstrapped to (e.g., applied instantaneously or concurrently with) switching the VCO circuitry to the new mode. After a time duration, the VCO circuitry may switch back to a steady-state voltage (e.g., used to maintain the new mode).
