Compact frequency-locked loop architecture for digital clocking
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a relatively compact frequency-locked loop (FLL) using a discrete-time integrator. For certain aspects, the FLL also includes a supplemental oscillator and other circuitry that allows for saving the FLL frequency when a reference clock will be disconnected, maintaining a similar frequency during disconnection, and restoring the FLL frequency when the reference clock is reconnected. One example FLL circuit generally includes: an encoder; a combiner comprising a first input coupled to an output of the encoder; a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) comprising an input coupled to an output of the combiner; a discrete-time integrator comprising an input coupled to an output of the DAC; a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) comprising a control input coupled to an output of the discrete-time integrator; and a counter comprising an input coupled to an output of the VCO and comprising an output coupled to a second input of the combiner.
Signal reproduction circuit, electronic apparatus, and signal reproducing method
A signal reproduction circuit includes: an oscillator generating first clock and second clock having a same frequency but different phases; and a feedback circuit to control the oscillator in accordance with a phase relation and a frequency relation between input data and the first clock, wherein the feedback circuit includes: a frequency-phase detection circuit to compare a clock phase control signal and a clock phase detection signal and generate a frequency phase signal indicating the frequency relation between the input data and the first clock, a state detection circuit to detect a lock state in which falling edges or rising edges of the input data and the first clock synchronize and a frequency difference state in which frequencies of the input data and the first clock are different, and a selector to supply the frequency phase signal to the feedback loop only in the frequency difference state.
Clock switching method and apparatus, electronic device, and computer readable storage medium
The present application provides a clock switching method, a clock switching apparatus, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium, the clock switching method includes: in a case where a first reference clock is determined to be in a locked state, determining an average control word according to a preset duration and an obtained real frequency tuning word; in a case where the first reference clock is determined to be in an invalid state, determining a compensation phase difference by using the average control word as a frequency control word of a digital phase locked loop; performing a phase compensation on a second reference clock according to the compensation phase difference to obtain an updated second reference clock; and switching the first reference clock to the updated second reference clock.
PLL circuit and transmission system
A phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit generates an output clock signal and includes: a selection circuit that selects one of a plurality of clock signals as a reference clock signal of the PLL circuit; and a control circuit that when a switch is made for the selection of the reference clock signal, temporarily reduces a division ratio used by a frequency divider that generates a feedback clock signal to be compared with the reference clock signal.
