  • Patent number: 10326456
    Abstract: Methods and devices are discussed where a plurality of input signals having different phases are provided. From the input signals, a plurality of signal pairs are selected, and intermediate signals are generated based on the signal pairs. The intermediate signals are then combined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 18, 2019
    Assignee: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventor: Werner Grollitsch

  • Patent number: 9998128
    Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide reduced jitter for a controlled oscillator. An edge of a reference signal is injected at various points within the oscillator, and is replaced for an edge of the generated oscillation signal at the injection point.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9973195
    Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide reduced jitter and local phase detection for a controlled oscillator. An edge of a reference signal is injected at a point within the oscillator, and replaces an edge of the generated oscillation signal at the injection point. A phase difference of the injected reference signal and the oscillation signal is measured locally and is used to tune the oscillator.

  • Patent number: 8264261
    Abstract: An apparatus for the controlled delay of an input signal includes a signal input for receiving an input signal. The input signal is supplied to a delay line with a multiplicity of delay elements. Outputs of the delay elements allow respective differently delayed phase signals to be tapped off. Furthermore, a register line with a multiplicity of register elements is provided. The register elements are each associated with one of the delay elements. Each of the register elements has a reset input and a clock input. The reset inputs are coupled to the signal input. The outputs of the delay elements are each coupled to the clock input of the register element associated therewith.
