    Abstract: An asynchronous successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC), which utilizes one or more overlapping redundant bits in each digital-to-analog converter (DAC) code word, is operable to generate an indication signal that indicates completion of each comparison step and indicates that an output decision for each comparison step is valid. A timer may be initiated based on the generated indication signal. A timeout signal may be generated that preempts the indication signal and forces a preemptive decision, where the preemptive decision sets one or more remaining bits up to, but not including, the one or more overlapping redundant bits in a corresponding digital-to-analog converter code word for a current comparison step to a particular value. For example, the one or more remaining bits may be set to a value that is derived from a value of a bit that was determined in an immediately preceding decision.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for a sampled loop filter in a phase locked loop (PLL) may comprise a phase locked loop (PLL) comprising a phase frequency detector, a sampled loop filter comprising a plurality of capacitors and at least one switch, a plurality of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) coupled to said sampled loop filter, and a frequency divider. The PLL generates at least one clock signal, and the sampled loop filter samples an output signal from the phase frequency detector when an average of charge provided to a first of the plurality of capacitors in the sampled loop filter is zero. The frequency divider may be a fractional-N divider. A second switch in said sampled loop filter may have switching times that are non-overlapping with switching times of the at least one switch. Capacitors may be coupled to ground from each terminal of the second switch.

    Abstract: A phase locked loop may be operable to generate, utilizing a frequency multiplier, a reference clock signal whose frequency is an integer M times a frequency of a crystal clock signal and is keyed on both rising and falling edges of the crystal clock signal. The phase locked loop may enable usage of both rising and falling edges of the crystal clock signal, based on the reference clock signal. The phase locked loop may perform an operation of the phase locked loop based on the enabling. The phase locked loop may perform a phase comparison function, based on both rising and falling edges of the crystal clock signal. By utilizing a sampled loop filter in the phase locked loop, the phase locked loop may eliminate, at an output of a charge pump in the phase locked loop, disturbance which is associated with duty cycle errors of the crystal clock signal.

    Abstract: A transceiver comprises local oscillator circuitry, phase noise determination circuitry, mixing circuitry, and digital signal processing circuitry. The local oscillator circuitry is operable to generate a local oscillator signal. The phase noise determination circuitry is operable to introduce a frequency-dependent phase shift to the local oscillator signal to generate a phase-shifted version of the local oscillator signal. The mixing circuitry is operable to mix the local oscillator signal and the phase-shifted version of the local oscillator to generate a baseband signal having an amplitude proportional to a phase difference between the local oscillator signal and the phase-shifted version of the local oscillator signal. The digital signal processing circuitry is operable to process the baseband signal to determine a phase error of the local oscillator signal, and perform signal compensation based on the determined phase error.

    Abstract: A method and system for duty-cycled high speed clock and data recovery with forward error correction are provided. The system operates on a first digital signal comprising a first plurality of samples and a second digital signal comprising a second plurality of samples. The second plurality of samples may be a subset of the first plurality of samples, for example, if the first and second pluralities of samples are generated by one analog-to-digital converter. A clock and data recovery module is operable to produce a timing indication according the second digital signal. The second plurality of samples is sampled intermittently. The discontinuity between bursts of samples in the second signal corresponds to a duty cycle. A forward error correction module is operable to produce a digital error-corrected signal according to the first digital signal and the timing indication.
