Abstract: A PLL includes an input comparison circuit comparing a reference signal to a divided feedback signal to thereby control a charge pump that generates a charge pump output signal. A filter receives the charge pump output signal when a switch is closed, and produces an oscillator control signal causing an oscillator to generate an output signal. Divider circuitry divides the output signal by a divisor to produce the divided feedback signal. Divisor generation circuitry changes the divisor over time so the output signal ramps from a start frequency to an end frequency. Modification circuitry stores a first oscillator control signal equal to the value of the oscillator control signal when the frequency of the output signal is the start ramp frequency. When the frequency of the output signal reaches the end ramp frequency, the switch is opened, and the stored first oscillator control signal is applied to the loop filter.

Abstract: A PLL includes a phase-frequency-detector-and-charge-pump-circuit (PFDCPC) receiving a reference signal and divided signal, and generating a charge-pump current. A loop-filter is between output of the PFDCPC and a reference-voltage. A first voltage-to-current converter (V2I1) has low gain, and a second voltage-to-current converter (V2I2) has high gain. A low-gain-path is between outputs of the PFDCPC and V2I1, and a high-gain-path is between the outputs of the PFDCPC and V2I2. A current-controlled-oscillator receives an input signal, and generates an output signal. A loop divider divides the output signal by a divider-value, producing the divided signal. The low-gain-path runs directly from the PFDCPC, through the V2I1, to the input of the current-controlled-oscillator. The high-gain-path runs from the PFDCPC to the loop-filter, from a tap of the loop-filter to a low-pass filter through a current mirror, from a tap of the low-pass filter through the V2I2, to the input of the current-controlled-oscillator.

Abstract: A calibration scheme is used to control PLL bandwidth and contain its spread. In open loop, the VCO control voltage is swept over a range of values and VCO output frequency is measured at each control voltage level. The gain KVCO is determined for each measured output frequency and a corresponding current magnitude for the variable magnitude charge pump is calculated from a ratio of a constant to the gain KVCO and correlated in a look-up table to the measured output frequency. Once calibration is completed, the PLL loop is closed and a calculated current magnitude is fetched from the look-up table based on a desired output frequency for the PLL circuit. The variable magnitude charge pump circuit is then controlled to generate a charge pump current with a magnitude corresponding to the fetched charge pump current magnitude.

Abstract: A PLL circuit includes a fractional-N divider generating a feedback signal, a first phase-frequency detector that compares the feedback signal to a reference signal to generate first up/down control signals that control a charge pump to generate a charge pump output current. A noise cancelation circuit includes a synchronization circuit that generates first and second synchronized feedback signals from the PLL circuit output and the feedback signal, where the first and second synchronized feedback signals are offset by an integer number of cycles of the PLL circuit output. A second phase-frequency detector circuit compares the first and second synchronized feedback clock signals to generate second up/down control signals whose pulse widths differ by the integer number of PLL cycles. A current digital to analog converter circuit is controlled in response to the second up/down control signals to apply noise canceling sourcing and sinking currents to the charge pump output current.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology enable selective updating of search results and refreshing an entire webpage while minimizing the amount of information transmitted between a client device and a web server. The approach involves determining whether a change in a detected location of the client device would alter the search results or other portions of the webpage. Current and previously received location information is analyzed and compared against a threshold value, which indicates whether there would be a change to location-relevant information. A location signal is provided to the client device based on this analysis, which is used to determine whether to refresh the received search results, to refresh an entire webpage, or to not refresh either the received search results or the entire webpage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Cas9 platform to facilitate single-site nuclease gene editing precision within a human genome. For example, a Cas9 nuclease/DNA-targeting unit (Cas9-DTU) fusion protein precisely delivers a Cas9/sgRNA complex to a specific target site within the genome for subsequent sgRNA-dependent cleavage of an adjacent target sequence. Alternatively, attenuating Cas9 binding using mutations to the a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) recognition domain makes Cas9 target site recognition dependent on the associated DTU, all while retaining Cas9's sgRNA-mediated DNA cleavage fidelity. Cas9-DTU fusion proteins have improved target site binding precision, greater nuclease activity, and a broader sequence targeting range than standard Cas9 systems. Existing Cas9 or sgRNA variants (e.g., truncated sgRNAs (tru-gRNAs), nickases and FokI fusions) are compatible with these improvements to further reduce off-target cleavage.

Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided which allow for data associated with a deleted file to be recovered from the memory when the data is overwritten by a new file at the same logical address. To locate the data, the controller may identify a logical address associated with the data based on a directory entry associated with a FAT. The controller may determine a physical location of the data associated with the logical address based on one or more control entries in a L2P mapping table, such as a previous control entry in the table. The controller may also determine the physical location based on a hot count associated with the previous control entry. After the physical location is determined, the controller may associate a new logical address with the physical location of the data to recover the deleted file.
