Latest Patents
One of Amr Eissa's latest patents is titled "DTC linearization via mismatch-noise cancellation for digital fractional-N PLLs." This invention involves a fractional-N PLL that includes a reference oscillator, a multi-modulus divider-based phase-error-to-digital converter, a digital loop filter, and a digitally controlled oscillator. The digital-to-time converter mismatch noise cancellation digital logic is positioned between the phase-error-to-digital converter and the digital loop filter. This innovation allows for partial cancellation of errors arising from digital-to-time converter component mismatches.
Another notable patent is focused on "Frequency to digital converter, asynchronous phase sampler and digitally controlled oscillator methods." This invention features a frequency to digital converter that incorporates digital feedback to an accumulator in a ring phase calculator, which simplifies implementation. The digital gain correction is applicable to dual mode ring oscillator converters and charge pump converters, providing compensation for forward path gain error. Additionally, asynchronous sampling includes correction logic to address arbitrary initial conditions. The digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) control technique enables frequency adjustments by changing the state of one frequency control element at a time.
