Abstract:
A sub-sampling phase-locked loop is described, which comprises a digital-to-time converter, a sampler module, an interpolator, and a voltage controlled oscillator. The digital-to-time converter is configured to provide a first delay signal SDLY 1  at a first point t 1  in time and a second delay signal SDLY 2  at a second point in time t 2 . The sampler module is configured to provide a first sample S 1  of the oscillator output signal SOUT at the first point in time t 1  and a second sample S 2  of the oscillator output signal SOUT at the second point in time t 2 . The interpolator is configured to provide a sampler signal SSAMPL by interpolating the first sample S 1  and the second sample S 2 . The voltage controlled oscillator is configured to control the oscillator output signal SOUT based on the sampler signal SSAMPL.

Claim (Index 18):
The sub-sampling phase-locked loop according to  claim 17 , further comprising:\n a filter, comprising an input connected to the output of the interpolator and an output, wherein the filter is configured to low-pass filter the sampler signal; wherein the oscillator comprises an input coupled to the output of the filter and an output for the oscillator output signal, wherein the voltage controlled oscillator is configured to control the oscillator output signal based on the filtered sampler signal.
