The purpose of a phase locked loop (PLL) is to generate a frequency and phase-locked output oscillation signal. To achieve this goal, prior art essentially functioned ...

Scientists have developed an advanced phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer that can drastically cut power consumption. This digital PLL could be an attractive building block for Bluetooth Low ...

In this paper an All Digital phase locked loop is proposed. This PLL can accomplish faster phase lock. Additionally, the functions of frequency comparator and phase detector have been improved and are ...

San Francisco, CA. At the 2017 International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, imec, Holst Centre, and ROHM presented an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) for Internet-of-Things ...

While analog phase-lock loops (PLLs) still have a home in communication equipment, there is a clear shift in the sector toward implementing digital PLLs (DPLLs) in comm ASIC designs. For example, in ...

In sensitive optical applications, obtaining the most precise measurements often involves stabilizing the laser with an external reference. One way to synchronize the phase of a signal is by using a ...

That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum timepiece ...

Delay-locked loops (DLLs) are critical components in modern electronic systems, providing robust synchronisation of clock signals in a variety of applications ranging from high-speed communication to ...

The Intuitive Internet of Things, or I2oT, is a concept imec has been working to bring to fruition. Speaking at the imec Technical forum held in conjunction with SEMICON West 2015, Luc Van den hove, ...
