Patent number: 11967959Abstract: The present invention discloses a clock data recovery method having quick locking and bandwidth stabilizing mechanism used in a clock data recovery circuit. A relative position relation between a serial data and a sampling clock is detected by a phase detection circuit in an adaptive control period to generate a tracking direction. The tracking direction of a first clock period is directly outputted as an adaptive tracking direction by an adaptive tracking circuit. For each of the clock periods behind the first clock period, a previous tracking direction is replaced by a current tracking direction only when the current tracking direction exists and is different from the previous tracking direction of a previous clock period such that an actual tracking direction is generated when the adaptive tracking direction changes. The phase of the sampling clock is adjusted according to the actual tracking direction by a clock control circuit.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATIONInventor: Hsi-En Liu

Patent number: 11392166Abstract: A system receives a first clock signal with a first frequency and a second clock signal having a second frequency lower than the first frequency. The system generates a new second clock signal aligned with the first clock signal based on a known phase/frequency relationship between the clock signals. A counter counts cycles of the first clock signal. The system generates a new second clock signal with an edge aligned with a first clock signal when the counter reaches a predetermined count value and the system resets the counter. A window opens that includes a time period when the edge of the first clock signal is expected. If an edge of the first clock signal is detected outside of the window, the counter is reset responsive to the detected edge.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Silicon Laboratories Inc.Inventor: Vivek Sarda

Patent number: 11387914Abstract: Embodiments herein describe sub-picosecond accurate two-way clock synchronization by optically combining received optical pulses with optical pulses generated locally in a photonic chip before the optical signals are then detected by a photodetector to obtain an interference measurement. That is, the optical pulses can be combined to result in different interference measurements. Optically combining the pulses in the photonic chip avoids much of the jitter introduced by the electronics. Further, the sites can obtain multiple interference measurements which can be evaluated to accurately determine when the optical pulses arrive at the site with femtosecond accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Vector Atomic, Inc.Inventors: Arman Cingoz, Abijith Sudarsan Kowligy, Jonathan David Roslund

Patent number: 11353827Abstract: The frequency stability of an optical local oscillator is improved by locking a laser to a silicon Fabry-Perot cavity operating at a temperature near 124 K, where the coefficient of thermal expansion of silicon is near zero. The cavity is mounted inside a cryostat housed in a temperature-stabilized vacuum system that is surrounded by an isolating enclosure and supported by an active vibration platform. Laser light is steered with a superpolished mirror toward a superpolished focusing optic that couples the laser light into the cavity. Light reflected from the cavity is used to stabilize the laser via the Pound-Drever-Hall technique, while light transmitted through the cavity is used to stabilize the laser power. A resonant transimpedance amplifier allows the laser power to be reduced, which reduces heating of the cavity caused by residual absorption of the light.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignees: The Regents of the Univ. of Colorado, a body corp., Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of CommerseInventors: Jun Ye, Eric G.
