Abstract: A method of compensating for integral nonlinear interpolation (INL) distortion in a clock synthesizer driven by a system clock running at a frequency fsys, involves introducing a selected nominal analog delay I*dt with an actual delay of I*dt+δ at the output of the a first path with a digital controlled oscillator (DCO) and a digital-to-time converter (DTC) and a nominal digital delay I*D with an actual delay of I*D+Δ at the input of a second path with a DCO and a DTC that offsets the actual analog delay in the first path, adjusting the contents x(k) of a compensation module in the second path to align the output pulses of the first and second paths for different values of k, where k represents an interpolation point, iteratively repeating the two preceding steps for all N values of I, and averaging the contents x(k) of the compensation module to derive the compensation values to be applied to a one of the DTCs to correct for INL distortion.

Abstract: To speed up output clock alignment in a digital phase locked loop wherein a controlled oscillator generates synthesizer pulses that are divided to produce output pulses at a predetermined normal spacing and time location, and wherein during an alignment procedure the output pulses are moved in time in response to a delay value obtained by comparing a phase of the output pulses with a phase applied to the controlled oscillator averaged over a number of synthesizer pulses in a feedback circuit to align said output pulses with a reference clock taking into account hardware delay, a group of the output pulses is advanced during the alignment procedure to reduce the spacing between them. After determining the delay value averaged over the group of output pulses subsequent output pulses are restored to their normal spacing and time locations.

Abstract: A multi-loop phase locked loop (PLL) system with noise attenuation has a first PLL including a local oscillator, a second PLL coupled to an output of the first PLL, and a third PLL in a feedback path between the second PLL and first PLL. A first phase comparator compares an input signal with the first feedback signal to generate a first phase error signal for the first PLL. The first phase error signal is multiplied by a scaling factor k determining the amount of noise attenuation. The third PLL has a bandwidth preferably at least ten times higher than the second PLL so that the overall transfer function of the second and third PLLs is approximately the transfer function of the second PLL. The transfer function of the third PLL is multiplied by a scaling factor 1/k. This arrangement allows the use of an uncompensated local oscillator in the first PLL. The noise generated in the uncompensated local oscillator is reduced by the attenuation factor k.

Abstract: A network interface for recovering timing information over packet networks has line card at the edge of a local network and a timing card separate from the line card. A physical interface time-stamps incoming timing packets based on smoothed recovered clock signals. A clock recovery module on the line card generates timing signals from the time-stamped incoming timing packets. A first phase locked generates raw clock signals from the timing signals. A second phase locked loop on the timing card generates the smoothed clock signals from said raw clock signals and applies them to the clock recovery module on the line card.

Abstract: A clock recovery device recovers a master clock over a packet network from incoming synchronization packets. A frequency locked loop generates a control input to a controlled oscillator, which generates an output clock. The frequency locked loop is responsive to pure offset information obtained from the incoming synchronization packets. A transient phase adjuster extracts information from the incoming synchronization packets taking into account transit delays to effect fast frequency adjustment of the control input and to provide a phase adjustment input to the frequency locked loop. A secondary phase path is selectable in response to de-activation of the transient phase adjuster to provide a phase correction to the control input derived from said pure offset information when the transient phase adjuster is inactive.

Abstract: Phase slope is controlled in a phase locked loop wherein a phase error signal controlling a controlled oscillator has a proportional component and an integral component, by determining whether the proportional component falls within a range bounded by upper and lower limit values. The proportional component is combined with the integral component if the proportional component falls within the range to provide the phase error signal. Otherwise, the proportional component is modified to meet a phase slope requirement while leaving the integral component unmodified. The modified proportional component is combined with the unmodified integral component to provide the phase error signal.
