Abstract: Presented herein are methodologies for generating clock signals for transceivers that rely on frequency and phase error correction functions. The methodology includes generating a differential clock signal at a fundamental frequency, generating, based on the differential clock signal and using a multiphase generator, four quadrature signals at the fundamental frequency, supplying the four quadrature signals to an injection-locked phase rotator, and outputting, from the injection-locked phase rotator, a phase adjusted multiphase clock signal based on the four quadrature signals.

Abstract: An asymmetric signal path approach is used to extract differential signals out of the photodetector (e.g., a photodiode) for amplification by a differential transimpedance amplifier (TIA). This asymmetric-path differential TIA configuration has less low-frequency Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) (also known as Baseline Wander), less high-frequency noise amplification, and higher bandwidth capabilities. There is no power penalty with this design in comparison to a single-ended TIA, can extend the range of the link for a given system power consumption, and can decrease transmitter power for a given range.

Abstract: An accurate replica oscillator-based frequency tracking loop (FTL) is provided. The replica oscillator used in the FTL can be at a lower frequency and therefore can consume much lower power compared to a main oscillator, such as an injection locked oscillator (ILO). The proposed FTL accurately sets the free running frequency of an ILO across process, voltage and temperature (PVT). Techniques are also provided to compensate the gain and offset error between the replica oscillator and the ILO.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to a conversion arrangement, a driver arrangement, and a method of producing a complementary complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) output signal for driving a modulator device. The conversion arrangement includes a differential amplifier configured to produce a first amplified signal based on the differential input signal, and at least two transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) coupled with respective outputs of the differential amplifier and configured to produce a second amplified signal based on the first amplified signal. Respective bias voltages for the TIAs are based on the first amplified signal. The conversion arrangement further includes a common-mode feedback arrangement coupled with outputs of the TIAs and configured to control the first amplified signal based on the second amplified signal, thereby controlling the bias voltages, wherein the complementary CMOS output signal is based on the second amplified signal.

Abstract: A charge-pump based low dropout (LDO) regulator is provided that overcomes latch-up issues. The LDO regulator is a high PSR low noise LDO regulator that uses a latch-up mitigated charge-pump voltage doubler which includes a N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), NMOS, pass transistor. This LDO regulator architecture may be used to provide a very low-noise supply regulated output voltage with high power supply rejection for an on-chip low jitter oscillator. Latch-up is mitigated using control circuitry and a power supply timing sequence. This scheme ensures that parasitic diodes associated with various transistors in the regulator are not forward biased.
