The present invention relates to a field programmable gate array system that provides phase control with minimal latency.

In described examples, a phase locked loop (PLL) includes a compensation circuit, a transconductance circuit, and an oscillator. The compensation circuit includes a capacitor circuit and a resistive element having a resistance responsive to a center frequency of the PLL’s bandwidth. The transconductance circuit includes a current source and an error amplifier. The current source generates a current responsive to the center frequency. The error amplifier has a transconductance responsive to the center frequency, and receives a signal responsive to the resistance and a difference between an input clock signal and a feedback signal. The oscillator input is coupled to the error amplifier output. The oscillator provides a signal at its output for generating the feedback signal.

Voltage-controlled oscillation circuitry includes multiple cores and multiple mode or gain boosters coupled between the multiple cores. To prevent an undesired operating mode of the voltage-controlled oscillation circuitry from dominating a desired operating mode (e.g., an in-phase operating mode or an out-of-phase operating mode), the mode boosters may increase a desired gain of the desired operating mode and decrease an undesired gain of the undesired operating modes. In particular, mode boosters coupled to terminals of the cores that are associated with the desired operating mode may be enabled, while mode boosters coupled to terminals of the cores that are associated with the undesired operating mode may be disabled.
