  • Publication number: 20150381214
    Abstract: This application discusses, among other things, apparatus and methods for improving spurious frequency performance of digital-to-time converters (DTCs). In an example, a method can include receiving a code at selection logic of a digital-to-time converter at a first instant, selecting a first delay path of the DTC to provide a delay associated with the code, associating a second delay path with the code, receiving the code at the selection logic at a second instant, and selecting the second delay path of the DTC to provide the delay associated with the code.

  • Publication number: 20150280842
    Abstract: A circuit according to an example includes a digital-to-time converter and a signal processing circuit coupled to the digital-to-time converter and configured to generate a processed signal derived from a signal provided to the signal processing circuit, the processed signal including a predetermined phase relation with respect to the signal provided to the signal processing circuit, wherein the circuit is configured to receive a reference signal and to generate an output signal based on the received reference signal. The a measurement circuit is configured to measure a delay between the output signal and the reference signal, wherein the output of the digital-to-time converter is coupled to a memory configured to store calibration data of the digital-to-time converter based on the measured delay.
