Publication number: 20210336624Abstract: A computer system may periodically calibrate an oscillator subsystem, which includes a voltage-controlled oscillator circuit configured to generate an oscillator signal using code signal. In response to activation of a calibration mode, an iterative calibration operation may be performed on the voltage-controlled oscillator circuit. In some cases, performing a given iteration of the calibration operation includes determining a value of the code signal using a number of pulses in the oscillator signal sampled during a particular time period, along with previous values of the code signal and a slope of an error function associated with the difference between a desired frequency and a current frequency of the oscillator signal. In other cases, iterations may employ variable sampling times with error handling, in order to decrease the duration of the calibration operation while maintaining a target accuracy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2020Publication date: October 28, 2021Inventors: Long Kong, Simone Gambini, Cristian Marcu, Nachum M.

Patent number: 9893878Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for on-chip random jitter (RJ) measurement in a clocking circuit (e.g., in a phase-locked loop of a serializer/deserializer circuit). Some embodiments determine a reference delay code sweep window to capture at least a candidate RJ range of a feedback clock signal, the reference delay code sweep window comprising a sequence of reference delay codes. A distribution of one-scores can be computed over the reference delay code sweep window, so that the distribution indicates a relatively likelihood, for each reference delay code, of obtaining a ‘1’ sample when sampling the feedback clock signal according to the delayed clock signal (delayed by an amount according to the reference delay code). The distribution can be transformed into a time domain by computing code offset times for the reference delay codes. A RJ output can be computed as a function of the distribution in the time domain.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Long Kong, Ben Li Chen, Philip Kwan, Zuxu Qin, Dawei Huang
