Abstract:
A reference-less frequency detector circuit includes a sampling circuit that is configured to generate a frequency control voltage and a switch circuit control signal based on a frequency difference between a clock signal frequency and an input data rate. The frequency control voltage has a frequency down indication and a frequency up indication. A voltage-to-current converter circuit is coupled to the sampling circuit and is configured to convert the frequency control voltage to a frequency control current based on the switch circuit control signal. The voltage-to-current converter circuit includes an output switch circuit controlled by the switch control signal and is configured to have substantially equal respective latencies for the frequency down indication and the frequency up indication.

Claim (Index 5):
The circuit of  claim 2 , wherein e voltage-to-current converter circuit further comprises:\n a first pair of transistors coupled in series with each other and having a complementary type with each other, wherein a gate of one of the first pair of transistors is coupled to an output of a sampling circuit and configured to operate in response to a first state of the frequency control signal; a second pair of transistors coupled in series with each other and having a complementary type with each other, wherein a gate of one of the second pair of transistors is coupled to the output of the sampling circuit and configured to operate in response to a second state of the frequency control signal, the second state being an inverse of the first state, wherein the first and second pair of transistors are coupled in parallel at a first common node and a second common node, the first common node coupled to the supply node; and a current source coupled between the circuit reference node and the second common node.
