  • Publication number: 20220319977
    Abstract: Example chip structures are described. One example chip structure includes a die, a first chip bond pad, and a second chip bond pad. A first radio frequency circuit, a second radio frequency circuit, a first interconnect metal wire, and a second interconnect metal wire are disposed in the die. The first interconnect metal wire is connected to the first radio frequency module, and is configured to provide an alternating current ground for the first radio frequency module. The second interconnect metal wire is connected to the second radio frequency module, and is configured to provide an alternating current ground for the second radio frequency module. The first chip bond pad and the second chip bond pad are disposed on a surface of the die.

  • Patent number: 9455854
    Abstract: The present invention provides a phase-locked loop frequency calibration method and system, where the method includes: performing, within a counting time TCNT[k], frequency counting on a frequency signal that is output in a current working subband by a voltage-controlled oscillator, to obtain a frequency count value FCNT[k], where the current working subband corresponds to a binary value of a current node in a binary search tree; and calculating an error between FCNT[k] and a target frequency count value FCNTTARGET[k], comparing an absolute value of the error with a predetermined value, dynamically adjusting TCNT[k] in a value range of TCNT[k] according to a comparison result, and determining, in combination with a binary search algorithm, a target subband in which the voltage-controlled oscillator works. Such a dynamic calibration method can effectively shorten the calibration time on the whole.
