20080265957 | Self-Resetting Phase Frequency Detector with Multiple Ranges of Clock Difference - A phase detector which provides a dynamic output signal and which automatically resets if a reference clock signal and a feedback clock signal align after an output pulse is generated. With the phase detector in accordance with the present invention, when there is a difference between the positive clock edges of the reference clock signal and the feedback clock signal, the phase detector generates output pulse. The output is used to correct the feedback clock signal. In the next cycle, if the feedback signal is corrected so that both the reference clock signal and feedback clock signal are aligned, then the output signals are reset to zero. The ability to reset advantageously prevents an unexpected correction that can occur in certain phase detector designs. | 10-30-2008 |

Coupled between the phase detector and the DCO, the control circuit adjusts the DCO to align the internal feedback signal with the external reference clock signal after a phase difference between the internal feedback signal and the external reference clock signal has been detected. The control circuit also locks a modulation frequency of the DCO and monitors the state of the digital frequency multiplier circuit in order to maintain the lock. | 10-30-2008 |
20080267341 | High Performance, Low Power, Dynamically Latched Up/Down Counter - A high performance, low power up/down counter is set forth. The counter presented is controlled by two clock pulses, an up pulse and a down pulse, and updates all bits of the counter in parallel. These bits are then latched using a scannable pulsed limited output switching dynamic logic latch. By using a limited switch dynamic logic latch, the counter is able to utilize the speed of dynamic logic without requiring the traditional dynamic logic power. The area saved and speed gained by using a dynamic latch is significant compared to a typical edge-triggered flip-flop. Additionally, by computing all the next count state bits in parallel, the counter reduces an overall count computation delay by eliminating the counter ripple. | 10-30-2008 |
