An interface includes an encoder to receive a stream of input symbols and, in response, to output a corresponding stream of output symbols of substantially equal weight via multiple signal lines, which can improve noise/speed performance. The encoder outputs the stream of output symbols so that no output symbol is consecutively repeated. A repeat symbol is used to indicate that the current symbol is identical to the immediately preceding symbol. This encoding allows an interface receiving the stream of output symbols can extract a clock signal from the stream.

A phase locked loop, PLL, is described with multiple parallel charge pumps that are selectively disabled as phase lock is approached. A lock detection circuit is described that enabled reference currents to be fed to the parallel charge pumps. The error signal from a phase detector is arranged as UP and a DOWN signals that are averaged in the lock detector. When the average error is large, all the reference currents feed the charge pumps that provide a high loop gain to reduce the lock time. As the lock becomes closer selective reference currents are disabled to reduce loop gain so that a smooth transition to lock is made. Selectively switching currents into a low pass filter that usually follows a charge pump in a PLL circuit automatically reduces switching noise by the operation of the low pass filter.

The invention relates to a method for achieving synchronous control of a main shaft and an auxiliary shaft by means of a PLC. The method aims to achieve synchronous control of the two shafts on the premise of low cost. According to the technical scheme, a complex function needing to be achieved through multiple steps in a high-functioning medium or large PLC of other companies just needs to be realized through one instruction in the small PLC used in the method. If the complex function is achieved by using multiple instructions, the sampling period depends on the scanning period of the PLC in most cases; when a PLC program is large, the scanning period is very long, consequently a response lag of the auxiliary shaft is caused, the output pulse interval is large, a motor runs unstably, and positional accuracy is poor. The synchronization instruction is convenient to use and good in synchronization performance. Meanwhile, the execution efficiency of the PLC is greatly improved, and the scanning period of the whole PLC is shortened. Thus, the industrial movement control response is rapider, and position control is more accurate.
