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.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of processing signal data comprising generating a first clock signal and a second clock signal and processing the signal data using the first clock signal and the second clock signal. While processing the signal data, the phase difference between the first clock signal and the second clock signal is measured and corrected for so that a target phase difference between the first clock signal and the second clock signal is maintained.

Abstract: An integrated circuit 2 is provided with an output driver circuit 12. The output driver circuit 12 one side provides between a first power supply 20 and a second power supply 18 a first transistor 16, a first output 22, a first resistor 14 and, connected in parallel with the first resistor 14, a first bypass transistor 24. The first bypass transistor 24 is controlled by a first bypass control voltage vbp such that as the first output voltage of the first output 22 approaches the second power supply voltage of the second power supply 18, the first bypass transistor 24 serves to bypass the first resistor 14 and provide a single-ended impedance of the output driver circuit 12 which approximates to zero. On the complementary side of the output driver circuit 12 there are similarly provided a second transistor 28, a second resistor 26 and a bypass transistor 32.
