Patent number: 6566967Abstract: A configurable PLL architecture having multiple detection elements. The configurable PLL circuit includes a first detector for providing a first differential signal, a second detector for providing a second differential signal, a third detector for providing a third differential signal, and a selection circuit for enabling at least one of the first, second and third detectors. The PLL circuit also includes a multiplexer for receiving at least one differential signal from a corresponding enabled detector, and for providing a multiplexed differential signal output. In operation, an operating mode is selected, and one or more detectors are enabled for operation with one or more input reference signals. The outputs of the enabled detectors is received by the multiplexer to complete the operation of the selected operating mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2002Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: Applied Micro Circuits CorporationInventors: Sudhaker Reddy Anumula, Joseph J.

Patent number: 6545524Abstract: A configurable multiplexing circuit and arrangement suited for phase locked loop applications. The multiplexing circuit includes an EX-OR element, a multiplexer element and a summer element. Each element is configured for receiving a particular type of detection signal output, as an input for one of multiple selectable multiplexing operations. The multiplexing circuit further includes a selection signal input, coupled to the EX-OR element, the multiplexer element and the summer element, for receiving a selection signal that enables one or more of the EX-OR element, the multiplexer element, and the summer element. Non-enabled elements are powered down to eliminate jitter and performance penalties.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2002Date of Patent: April 8, 2003Assignee: Applied Micro Circuits CorporationInventors: Sudhaker Reddy Anumula, Wei Fu, Joseph J.
