Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for receiving a reference clock signal and a phase of a local oscillator signal at a dynamically-weighted XOR gate comprising a plurality of logic branches, generating a plurality of weighted segments of a phase-error signal, the plurality of weighted segments including positive weighted segments and negative weighted segments, each weighted segment of the phase-error signal having a respective weight applied by a corresponding logic branch of the plurality of logic branches, generating an aggregate control signal based on an aggregation of the weighted segments of the phase-error signal, and outputting the aggregate control signal as a current-mode output for controlling a local oscillator generating the phase of the local oscillator signal, the local oscillator configured to induce a phase offset into the local oscillator signal in response to the aggregate control signal.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , further comprising generating a phase-control signal comprising a plurality of bits, and wherein each branch segment is enabled according to a respective bit of the plurality of bits of the phase-control signal.
