  • Patent number: 11811362
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems and methods for temperature adaptive voltage controlled oscillators. In one example, a voltage controlled oscillator includes a cross junction circuit electrically coupled to a temperature dependent input current, and an inductor circuit electrically coupled to the cross junction circuit. The voltage controlled oscillator additionally includes a capacitor bank circuit electrically coupled to the inductor circuit, and an input node that receives a control voltage. The voltage controlled oscillator further includes an output node configured to provide an oscillation frequency output, wherein the oscillation frequency output is controlled by the control voltage.

  • Patent number: 11341002
    Abstract: An IC chip can include a buffer and correction module that receives a set of multiphase clock signals at a given frequency, the buffer and correction module can include a differential skew detector that detects a skew between signals of the set of multiphase clock signals. The skew detector can include a set of SR latches. Differential clock signals of the set of multiphase clock signals are input into each SR latch, and the differential clock signals of the set of multiphase clock signals are set to be 180 degrees out of phase. A voltage difference between a DC component of a first output signal and a DC component of a second output signal of a respective SR latch in the set of SR latches varies as a function of the skew between the differential clock signals of the set of multiphase clock signals.

  • Patent number: 11334110
    Abstract: In some examples, a circuit can include a first buffer circuit that can be configured to receive a first clock signal and a first output voltage. The first buffer circuit can be configured to operate in a first voltage domain based on the first output voltage. The circuit can include a second buffer circuit configured to receive a second clock signal, the second buffer circuit being configured to operate in a second voltage domain based on the second output voltage. The first voltage domain can be different from the second voltage domain. In some examples, one of the first and second buffer circuits can be configured to provide one of the first and second clock signals as a clock output signal at a clock output terminal in response to a clock enable signal.
