Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

ADVISORY...for Wednesday (Feb. 12)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHO: True Circuits, Inc. (TCI), a leading provider of analog and mixed-signal intellectual property (IP) semiconductor, systems and electronics industries invites the attendees of the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) to a presentation that describes advances in Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) technology. WHAT: Presentation: Self-Biased High-Bandwidth Low-Jitter 1-to-4096 Multiplier Clock Generator PLL Authors: J. Maneatis, J. Kim, and I. McClatchie - True Circuits, Inc., Los Altos, CA J. Maxey and M. Shankaradas - Texas Instruments, Inc., Dallas, TX Abstract: A self-biased PLL uses a sampled feed-forward filter network and a multi-stage inverse-linear programmable current mirror for constant loop dynamics that scale with reference frequency and are independent of multiplication factor, output frequency, and PVT. The PLL achieves a multiplication range of 1 to 4096 with less than 1.7% output jitter. Fabricated in 0.13m CMOS, the area is 0.182mm2 and the supply is 1.5V. WHEN: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 at 2:00 PM WHERE: Session 24, Salon 8 San Francisco Marriott 777 Market St San Francisco, CA 94103-2001 [phone]
