Clock, Frequency Reference, And Other Reference Signal Generator With A Controlled Quality Factor

View page
US Patent:
8093958, Jan 10, 2012
Filed:
Jan 12, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/013440
Inventors:
Justin O'Day - Detroit MI, US
Michael Shannon McCorquodale - Ann Arbor MI, US
Scott Michael Pernia - Pinckney MI, US
Nam Duc Nguyen - San Jose CA, US
Ralph Beaudouin - East Palo Alto CA, US
Sundus Kubba - Saline MI, US
Assignee:
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H03L 5/00
US Classification:
331182, 331117 R, 331167, 331177 R, 331183
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a reference signal generator having a controlled quality (“Q”) factor. An exemplary apparatus to generate a harmonic reference signal includes a reference resonator, such as an LC-tank, which generates a first reference signal having a resonant frequency, and a plurality of reactance modules couplable to the reference resonator. Each reactance module comprises one or more reactance unit cells, and each reactance unit cell comprises a reactance element coupled in series to a switching element. In exemplary embodiments, the reactance element is a capacitor having a predetermined unit of capacitance, and the switching element is a transistor having a predetermined resistance when in an off state. The ratio of capacitance to resistance is substantially constant for all reactance modules of the plurality of reactance modules.

International Classification:
H03K 3/00
H03L 1/00
US Classification:
327291, 331176, 327539
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a reference signal generator, system and method. An exemplary apparatus to generate a harmonic reference signal includes a reference resonator, such as an LC-tank, a control voltage generator adapted to provide a temperature-dependent control voltage; and a plurality of variable reactance modules. The reference resonator generates a first reference signal having a resonant frequency, and each reactance module is adapted to modify a corresponding reactance in response to the control voltage to maintain the resonant frequency substantially constant or within a predetermined variance over a predetermined temperature range. A frequency controller may also be included to maintain substantially constant a magnitude of a peak amplitude of the first reference signal and maintains substantially constant a common mode voltage level of the reference resonator.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a reference signal generator, system and method. An exemplary apparatus to generate a harmonic reference signal includes a reference resonator, such as an LC-tank, and an amplitude controller. The reference resonator generates a first reference signal having a resonant frequency, and the amplitude controller maintains substantially constant a magnitude of a peak amplitude of the first reference signal. A common mode controller may also be included to maintain substantially constant a common mode voltage level of the reference resonator. A temperature-dependent control voltage also may be generated and utilized to maintain the resonant frequency substantially constant or within a predetermined variance of a calibrated or selected frequency.
