Frequency generator and method of frequency generation with multiple sampling phase detectors

A device includes: a plurality of sampling phase detectors, each receiving a sampling signal and a VCO output signal and in response thereto outputting a beat signal representing a frequency and phase difference between the VCO output signal and the sampling signal; a frequency/phase detector receiv...

Zusammenfassung:A device includes: a plurality of sampling phase detectors, each receiving a sampling signal and a VCO output signal and in response thereto outputting a beat signal representing a frequency and phase difference between the VCO output signal and the sampling signal; a frequency/phase detector receiving a reference signal and a combined beat signal produced by combining the beat signals, and in response thereto producing an error signal representing a phase difference between the reference signal and the combined beat signal; a loop integrator receiving the error signal and in response thereto producing the VCO control signal; a power detector detecting a power level of the combined beat signal; and at least one offset voltage generator adjusting a value of a bias voltage in response to the detected power level of the combined beat signal, and applying the adjusted bias voltage to one of the sampling phase detectors.
