    Abstract: A receiver is provided that includes a plurality of sub-rate receiver lanes each of which is configured to receive an analog receive signal from an analog front-end and produce digital sub-rate receiver data. The receiver includes one or more first digital-to-analog converters (DACs) (also referred to herein as “average” DACs) shared across the plurality of sub-rate receiver lanes, and one or more second DACs (also referred to herein as “mismatch cancellation” DACs) for each sub-rate receiver lane of the plurality of sub-rate receiver lanes. The one or more second DACs of a respective sub-rate receiver lane provide output to be combined with an output of a corresponding one of the one or more first DACs during processing of the analog receive signal in the respective sub-rate receiver lane to account for a sub-rate receiver lane specific offset with respect to a corresponding one of the one or more first DACs.

    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.
