Title: Local oscillator frequency calibration
Inventor: CLAPP TIMOTHY CHARLES
IPC: H03L7/18
Filed: 2014-08-06
Abstract: A frequency-locked loop for generating a clock signal comprises a controllable oscillator (101, fig.1), a frequency divider 202, (102, fig.1) and a frequency detector 205, (104, fig.1). The divider 202 may comprise a first counter 203 clocked by the oscillator, and a second counter 204 clocked by the first counter. The first counter may be a twisted ring counter (303, fig.3) and the second counter may be a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) (304, fig.3). Alternatively, the second counter may be a ripple counter. These types of counter are preferred over a synchronous counter as they require less logic between flip-flops and thus consume less power. The state of the counter 203/204 may be held in state register 401/402. According to the invention, the state of the counter logic is measured at both bounds of a first time interval and the frequency of the oscillator is estimated from a determined number of elapsed states of the counter logic in the first time interval. The process is repeated for a second, longer time interval and the estimate is iteratively refined (fig.5). The frequency detector may implement a trellis network to detect and correct errors in the determined oscillator frequency.
