Application: Single and dual edge triggered phase error detection (Patent ID: US20240088902A1)
The patent filed by Microchip Technology Inc. describes an apparatus that includes a phase detector and a phase error detector. The phase detector sets a status signal to indicate the phase difference between a reference clock and a feedback clock, while the phase error detector sets an error signal proportional to this phase difference. The phase error detector can change its triggering mechanism based on the status signal, transitioning from being triggered only by edges of a certain polarity to being triggered by edges of both polarities.
The apparatus further involves the phase detector determining the phase difference status and setting the status signal accordingly. Additionally, the phase detector can detect a false NULL condition threshold to adjust the status signal. The phase error detector, based on the status signal, can determine phase error by considering edges of different polarities. The method described in the patent involves generating an error signal proportional to the phase difference between clocks and setting the phase error detector's response based on the status signal. This method also includes determining the phase relationship status and adjusting the status signal accordingly, as well as setting the error signal magnitude and direction based on the phase difference between edges of different polarities.
