Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for signal sampling with offset calibration are described. For example, sampling circuitry may include an input pair of transistors where input signals may be provided to gate nodes of the transistors, and an output signal may be generated based on a comparison of voltages of drain nodes of the transistors. In some examples, source nodes of the transistors may be coupled with each other, such as via a resistance, and each source node may be configured to be coupled with a ground node. In some examples, a conductive path between the source nodes may be coupled with one or more switching components configurable for further coupling of the source nodes with the ground node. In some examples, enabling such switching components may add an electrical characteristic (e.g., capacitance) to the conductive path between the source nodes, which may be configurable to mitigate sampling circuitry imbalances.

Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit is configured to adjust a value of a bias voltage based on a comparison between a reference clock signal and a feedback clock signal, and an oscillator circuit is configured to provide the feedback clock signal and phase-shifted clock signals based on a value of the bias voltage. A frequency detector of the frequency detector is configured to cause an adjustment to the value of the bias voltage in response to detection of a frequency deviation between the reference clock signal and the feedback clock signal. To avoid a metastable state, the frequency detector is configured to apply an asynchronous delay to one of the reference clock signal or the feedback clock signal prior to detection of the frequency deviation.
