1results about "Oscillations comparator circuits" patented technology

Semiconductor devices for synchronizing networks are described. A semiconductor device can include a phase lock loop of a timing circuit. The phase lock loop includes a voltage-controlled oscillator, a sub-sampling phase lock loop circuit and a frequency correction loop circuit. The frequency correction loop circuit is configured to activate a charge pump to inject a charge into the voltage-controlled oscillator based on a phase difference between a reference signal and a feedback signal being greater in magnitude than a deadzone delay parameter plus a hysteresis delay parameter and de-activate the charge pump based on the magnitude of the phase difference between the reference signal and the feedback signal falling below the deadzone delay parameter.
