Abstract:
An electronic circuit including: a differential multiplier circuit with a first differential input and a second differential input and a differential output; and a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit including: (1) a balanced differential mixer circuit with a first differential input electrically connected to the differential output of the differential multiplier circuit, a second differential input, and an output; (2) a loop filter having an output and an input electrically connected to the output of the balanced differential mixer circuit; and (3) a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit having an input electrically connected to the output of the loop filter and with an output electrically feeding back to the second differential input of the balanced differential mixer circuit.

Claim (Index 53):
A method of initializing a phase adder circuit that comprises a differential multiplier circuit with a first differential input and a second differential input and a differential output; and a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit formed by: (1) a balanced differential mixer circuit electrically connected to the differential output of the differential multiplier circuit; (2) a folded cascode amplifier electrically with an input electrically connected to the output of the balanced differential mixer circuit; (3) a loop filter electrically connected to an output of the folded cascode amplifier; and (4) a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit electrically connected to an output of the loop filter and with an output electrically feeding back to the second differential input of the balanced differential mixer circuit, said method comprising:\n switchably connecting the first differential input of the differential multiplier to ground; switching input to the loop filter from the output of the folded cascode amplifier to a signal derived from output of the VCO; while the first differential input of the differential multiplier is connected to ground and the input to the loop filter is the signal derived from the output of the VCO, comparing the output of the folded cascode amplifier to the output of the loop filter; while comparing output of the folded cascode amplifier to output of the loop filter, incrementally introducing incremental amounts of current into the input of the folded cascode amplifier until the output of the folded cascode amplifier approximately equals the output of the loop filter; and upon determining that the output of the folded cascode amplifier approximately equals the output of the loop filter, switching input to the loop filter from the signal derived from output of the VCO to the output of the folded cascode amplifier.
