Abstract

See full text

A technique for calibrating a digital-to-time converter includes an apparatus including a digital-to-time converter configured to generate an output signal based on a digital code, an input signal, and a gain calibration signal. The output signal has edges linearly delayed from corresponding edges of the input signal based on the digital code. The digital code vacillates between an evaluation code and a calibration code. The apparatus includes a reference signal generator configured to provide a delayed version of the input signal. The delay of the reference signal generator is matched to a delay of the digital-to-time converter. The apparatus includes a calibration circuit configured to generate the gain calibration signal based on the output signal and the delayed version of the input signal. The calibration code may alternate between a first calibration delay code and a second calibration delay code.
