A foot valve that can be activated either by the driver or an electronic control unit, wherein the foot valve can be the central driving device for automated braking applications such as Hill Start Aid and Work Brake Systems.

A low bandwidth phase lock loop (PLL) arranged in a dual-loop configuration is disclosed. The first loop is a standard loop configuration using a crystal oscillator as a reference clock. The loop parameters for this first PLL can be optimized to work over a wide range of output frequencies, and with a minimum amount of jitter. The first loop outputs a reference signal, which is a VCO output. The second loop comprises a bang-bang detector configured to drive a digital loop filter, which then drives a phase interpolator. The phase interpolator manipulates the output phase. Since phase and frequency are related, where frequency is the derivative of phase, small frequency offsets can be made using a phase control signal, generated within the second loop based on the relation between the reference signal and the clock input signal. The second loop sets the jitter transfer bandwidth of the system.

A phase-locked loop (PLL) keeps tracking a reference clock when a frequency offset is introduced. The PLL has primary and secondary PLL loops. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) generates a current that is passed through an offset resistor to generate an offset voltage. An op amp is inserted in the primary loop between a filter capacitor and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The offset resistor is coupled between the inverting input of the op amp and the op amp's output. When the DAC offset occurs, the voltage to the VCO and the frequency of the primary loop change and the primary loop loses tracking of the reference clock. The secondary loop keeps tracking the reference clock during the DAC offset while the primary loop is open. Then the output clock of the secondary loop is applied as the feedback clock to the phase comparator of the primary loop.
