Abstract: An ASIC includes a PLL and digital circuitry to quantize and measure phase and average maximum jitter between a system clock input to the PLL, and a PLL-generated clock signal. The system clock is input to a series-string of delay elements, each contributing a delay of about 1 DELTA t. Each delay element is associated with a two-input logic element, such as an EX-OR gate or an EX-NOR gate. One input to each two-input logic element is a version of the PLL-generated clock delayed by about (N/2) DELTA t. The second input to the first EX-OR is the output from the first delay element, the second input to the first EX-NOR is the output from the second delay element, and so on. Whichever delay element outputs a signal most closely in phase with the delayed PLL-generated clock will have an associated two-input logic element signal with a minimum duty cycle. Each two-input logic element output signal is capacitor integrated, sampled, stored and digitized. The digitized output signal identifies the lowest duty cycle two-input logic element, and thus phase shift. The relative breadth of the integrated capacitor voltage profile provides a measure of average maximum jitter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A carrier recovery, symbol timing, and carrier phase tracking systems and methods suitable for use in connection with a dual-mode QAM/VSB receiver system. In-phase signals are sampled twice a symbol at the in-phase symbol sampling time and at the quadrature-phase symbol sampling time. The signals are de-multiplexed to generate I and X<SUB>I </SUB>data streams, where I represents the in-phase sampling time signals and X<SUB>I </SUB>represents mid-symbol point sample times. A similar procedure is carrier out on quadrature-phase signals. When the in-phase signal is de-multiplexed to generate a symbol I, the quadrature-phase signal is de-multiplexed to generate its mid-symbol point X<SUB>Q</SUB>. Both I and Q are decoded to define a symbol error term, which is combined with the opposite mid-symbol signal to define a phase error term P<SUB>I </SUB>and P<SUB>Q </SUB>for each rail.
