  • Patent number: 10868496
    Abstract: Oscillators and methods for realignment of an oscillator are provided. An oscillator includes an inductor having first and second terminals and a capacitor electrically coupled in parallel to the inductor at the first and second terminals. A first transistor of a first conductivity type is electrically coupled to the first terminal and a voltage source. The first transistor includes a gate configured to receive a first realignment signal. When the first realignment signal is in a realignment state, the first transistor is turned on and a voltage of the first terminal is increased from a low level to a high level in order to align a phase of a waveform of the oscillator.

  • Patent number: 10749537
    Abstract: Hybrid phase lock loop (PLL) devices are provided that combine advantages of the digital controlled loop and the analog controlled loop. For example, a hybrid PLL includes a digital controlled loop that receives a reference input signal and an output signal of the hybrid PLL, and generates a digital tuning word.

The hybrid PLL also includes a hybrid oscillator. An oscillator controller of the digital controlled loop controls the hybrid oscillator using the digital tuning word and disables the analog controlled loop during a frequency tracking operational mode of the hybrid PLL. The oscillator controller enables the analog controlled loop to control the hybrid oscillator during the phase tracking operational mode of the hybrid PLL.

  • Patent number: 10644869
    Abstract: A phase lock loop (PLL), such as an all digital phase lock loop (ADPLL) to provide an example, of the present disclosure operates in a frequency tracking mode to adjust a frequency of the output signal to be proportional to a frequency of a reference input signal, or, in a phase tracking mode to adjust a phase of the output signal to match any variations in the reference input signal. The ADPLL includes a phase and/or frequency detector that provides an error signal representing a difference, in frequency and/or phase, between the output signal and the reference input signal. The ADPLL monitors a trend of the error signal, such as a positive trend, a negative trend, or a flat trend to provide some examples, and switches among the frequency tracking mode and the phase tracking mode upon detecting a change in the trend of the error signal.
