    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: Presented herein are techniques for implementing a hybrid fractional-N sampling phase locked loop with accurate digital-to-time calibration. A method includes receiving, at a comparator, an output of a sampling phase detector of a phase locked loop, the output of the sampling phase detector of the phase locked loop also being supplied as a control source for a proportional control input of a voltage-controlled oscillator, supplying an output of the comparator as an input signal to a calibration loop of a digital-to-time converter, supplying an output of the digital-to-time converter to an input of the sampling phase detector, and supplying the output of the comparator as a control source for an integral control input of the voltage-controlled oscillator.
