Clockless frequency detector
Devices and methods for tuning a tunable circuit based on a frequency of operation of the tunable circuit using a clockless frequency detector circuit are described. The clockless frequency detector uses a filter having a slope in its frequency response curve that includes a frequency range of operation of the tunable circuit. Frequency-based attenuation through the filter of an RF signal provided to the tunable circuit is used to provide an indication of the frequency of operation. The tunable circuit, including the clockless frequency detector, can be integrated within a same chip that is autonomously configurable based on the frequency of operation.
