Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for the phase-locked synchronization of an output clock signal with an input signal representing a continuous serial input data stream with input clock information and payload data. Furthermore, the invention relates to a receiver with such a device.
- phase control devices are used, which are also referred to in English as the phase locked loop (PLL).
- EP 0 556 984 B1 discloses a phase locked loop for synchronizing a serial data bit stream, in which a phase comparator has an input and a supplied by a voltage controlled oscillator bit clock signal to be supplied. Depending on the phase difference of the signals present at the inputs of the phase comparator, the latter generates an error signal which causes a downstream low-pass filter, depending on the comparison result, to increase or decrease a control voltage applied to the voltage-controlled oscillator.
- phase control device As so-called software PLL, which is realized by a program executed by a microcontroller.
- the microcontroller compares the timing of the synchronous clock signal applied to an input with an expected timing and modifies variable values such that the expected timing coincides with the actual synchronous clock signal.
- the disadvantage of such a form of implementation of a PLL is that the controller, due to the time required for the execution of the program stored in it, is especially high clock frequency must work. This places special power requirements on the microcontroller, whose operation therefore requires more energy and is more complex and expensive to purchase.
- phase control devices an unpredictable phase error on the order of a maximum of one instruction execution time of the processor occurs as a jitter source, resulting in additional phase noise.
- the technical problem underlying the present invention is to provide a phase control device which is also suitable for input signals with respect to the processing speed of the microcontroller used, high clock frequencies, which reduces or eliminates the described disadvantages of the prior art.
- the object is achieved by a phase control device for phase-locked synchronization of an output clock signal with an input signal representing a serial input data stream with input clock information and payload data
- a signal detector configured to receive an externally-derived input signal containing input clock information and to output a synchronous clock signal synchronous with the input clock information
- a voltage controlled oscillator configured to output a control clock signal having a control clock frequency that is proportional to an applied control voltage
- a microcontroller having a clock input to which the control clock signal output from the voltage controlled oscillator is applied, and is configured to process, with the control clock frequency of the control clock signal applied to the working clock input, a program stored in the microcontroller, comprising the steps of generating and outputting an output clock signal having an output clock frequency which is at a predetermined division ratio to the control clock frequency of the control clock signal,
- phase comparator at the inputs of which the output clock signal and the synchronous clock signal applied, and which is adapted to generate and output a DC signal which is proportional to the phase difference of the signals applied to the inputs
- integration unit at the input of which the DC signal is applied , and which is designed to output a control voltage which is proportional to the time integral of the DC voltage signal over a predefined period of time and which is supplied to the voltage-controlled oscillator.
- the phase control device comprises a hardware core formed by the signal detector, the voltage-controlled oscillator, the phase comparator and the integration unit, which phase-shifts the output clock signal generated by the microcontroller with the received input clock information of the input data stream by regulating the operating clock frequency of the microcontroller ,
- the microcontroller operates with this clock a stored program with which it generates the output clock signal at an output clock frequency which is in a predetermined division ratio to the control clock frequency, which is generated by the voltage controlled oscillator and the microcontroller is specified as a working clock frequency.
- the phase control device makes it possible to process external periodic signals, data or events with a microcontroller, wherein the software processes taking place in the microcontroller are always in phase with the periodic occurrence of these external signals, data or events.
- the microcontroller must only be so fast that it processes the sequence of the commands of the program stored in it in the time provided for this purpose. For the process of synchronization with the input clock information in the serial input data stream, in contrast to a software PLL implementation or for interrupt-driven synchronization to an output clock signal taken from an upstream PLL, no computing time is required.
- the integration of the microcontroller into the phase control device according to the invention makes it possible to easily adapt the phase control device to various applications because of the programmability of the microcontroller.
- the signal detector, the voltage-controlled oscillator, the phase comparator and the integrator are designed as components separate from the microcontroller or as circuits of an integrated circuit separate from the microcontroller. In this way, a fast, low-jitter hardware core is formed around the microcontroller, which phases the output clock signal generated by the microcontroller with the input clock information of the input data stream.
- the signal detector is designed, in the received input signal, to recognize the input clock information and to provide only the input clock information in the form of the synchronous clock signal at its output.
- the microcontroller is designed to generate a sampling clock signal which is in fixed phase relationship with the output clock signal and whose frequency forms a predetermined multiple of the output clock signal. In this way, it is possible to synchronously sample the serial input data stream symbol by symbol. Because of the low phase jitter, the scanning of particularly narrow data signals is reliably possible.
- the microcontroller additionally contains a data sampling device to which the sampling clock signal and the input signal are fed, and which is designed to take useful data symbols from the clock signal predetermined by the sampling clock signal and output them at an output. The output data may then be sent for further processing or playback.
- the abtastvoriques is formed in the form of a first gate circuit having a closed state in which no signal is applied to the output, and an open state in which the input is present at the output, and the arrival of a sample signal for a predetermined period of time assumes the open state and otherwise the closed state.
- the data sampling device is designed as a sample and hold element to which the input signal and the sampling signal are applied, and which is designed to sample the current input signal with each new sampling signal and to output the sampling result at the output until the next sampling signal arrives.
- the phase comparator is configured to generate the DC signal with a DC voltage proportional to the phase difference of the output clock signal and the synchronous clock signal with respect to the time center of the synchronous clock signal.
- the sampling clock signal generated by the microcontroller is considered to be in phase synchronization with the synchronous clock signal when it is centered in time on the synchronous clock signal.
- the width of the sampling clock signal is greater than the widest expected synchronous clock signal.
- the width of the synchronous clock signal is not constant due to disturbances in the transmission path, as is the case, for example, in wireless data transmission, in which the width is usually dependent on the reception strength of the analog transmitted signal. In this way, even with fluctuating transmission conditions, the extraction of the user data from the input data stream at the respectively optimum time is made possible. This ensures a low-error sampling of the input signal.
- the phase comparator is additionally designed to emit an engagement signal at an output, which indicates that the phase difference between the synchronous clock signal and the output clock signal is currently disappearing or falls below a predetermined threshold value.
- the signal detector is preceded by a second gate circuit, to which the input signal and an enable signal are fed, and which is designed
- detection of the input clock information from the input data stream from the time of simultaneous arrival of the synchronous clock signal and the output clock signal is inhibited each for a period of slightly less than a period of the input clock frequency when the phase control apparatus is latched.
- an active noise suppression is realized, which prevents erroneous detection of interference in the input signal or coincidentally with the input clock information similar bit strings as input clock information.
- the input clock information is detected only when it is expected.
- the microcontroller is supplied with a signal representing information about the value of the control voltage.
- the integration unit may be followed by a limit value device which, with two output bits, indicates whether the phase-locked loop is in a predefined, permitted working range and in which direction there may be a deviation from the permitted working range. Both bit signals are fed to the microcontroller.
- the program stored in the microcontroller contains an additional step of adjusting the division ratio between the control clock signal and the output clock signal as a function of the information about the magnitude of the control voltage. In this way, the capture range of the phase control device can be significantly increased without increasing the phase jitter. The achievable extension of the capture range is significantly greater than it would be possible only with the help of the voltage-controlled oscillator.
- a receiver device comprises an antenna designed to receive input signals in the form of radio signals and a phase control device according to the first aspect of the invention, the signal detector of which is connected to the antenna.
- a control method for synchronizing an output clock signal to be output with an input signal.
- signal which represents a serial input data stream with input clock information and user data, with a control loop comprising the following steps:
- clocked execution by a control clock signal of a program stored in the microcontroller comprising steps of generating and outputting an output clock signal having an output clock frequency which is in a predetermined division ratio to the control clock frequency of the control clock signal,
- the microcontroller additionally generates a sampling clock signal in fixed phase relation with the output clock signal.
- the frequency of the sampling signal may in one embodiment form a predetermined multiple of the output clock signal.
- payload data symbols are taken from the input data stream of the input signal at the clock rate specified by the sampling clock signal.
- the microcontroller outputs the phase locked sample clock signals centered in time with respect to an expected duration of an input signal representing a payload symbol.
- a lock signal is generated when the phase difference between the synchronous clock signal and the output clock signal disappears or undershoots a predetermined threshold value.
- information about the level of the control voltage is supplied to the microcontroller and the program stored in the microcontroller contains an additional step of adjusting the division ratio between the control clock signal and the output clock signal as a function of the applied control voltage.
- a first limit signal is issued when the control voltage has reached an upper limit and a second limit signal is issued when the control voltage has reached a lower limit
- the program stored in the microcontroller has additional steps of reducing the division ratio upon application of a first limit signal and increasing the division ratio upon application of a second limit signal.
- FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of an embodiment of a phase control device according to the invention
- FIG. 3 is a more detailed block diagram of the integrator circuit of FIGS. 1, and
- FIG. 4 is a timing diagram for explaining the timing references of various internal signals generated by the phase-locked loop device of FIG. 1 to the input clock information included in a received input signal.
- Fig. 1 shows a simplified block diagram of a phase control device 10 according to the invention.
- the phase control device includes a phase-locked loop 12, which is also referred to below as PLL, the PLL 12 are preceded by a first gate 14 and a signal detector 16.
- PLL phase-locked loop
- At an output 18 of the PLL is a regenerated data clock in the form of a sample signal.
- the scanning signal is supplied in parallel to a data sampling device in the form of a second gate circuit 20 at its first input 20.1.
- the input signal which is also supplied in parallel to the first gate circuit 14, is applied to a second input 20.
- the PLL 12 has a phase comparator 22, at the first input 22.1, the output signal of the signal detector 16 (synchronous clock signal) and at the second input 22.2, the output clock signal of the microcontroller 28 is applied. This is an integrator 24 downstream.
- a voltage controlled oscillator (Voltage Controlled Oscillator, VCO) 26 is connected to the integrator 24 at its control input.
- the output of the VCO 26 is supplied to a clock input of a programmed microcontroller 28.
- the program contained in the microcontroller implements the function of a programmable digital frequency divider.
- An output clock signal of the microcontroller generated with the aid of the program is applied to a NEN second input of the phase comparator 22, whereby the control loop of the PLL 12 is closed.
- an input signal of the phase control device 10 a radio-transmitted serial data stream is selected which contains input clock information in the form of a plurality of successive synchronization features.
- FIG. 4a an input signal E is shown in a time diagram.
- the input signal E comprises data words, of which the data words W1 and W2 are represented as signal groups in FIG. 4a).
- the data words W1 and W2 are generated on the transmitter side with a characteristic time structure. This time structure is used by the phase control device 10 for synchronization. Characteristic features of the time structure of the data words are:
- pre-start bit V represented by a 14 ⁇ s long signal pulse at the beginning of each data word as well
- the field of application of the device of FIG. 1 is of course not limited to the described signal structure, nor to the synchronization with radio-transmitted input signals.
- the first gate 14 is initially in its open state.
- a received signal E (see Fig. 4a) applied to its input 14.1 is applied unchanged at its output and is forwarded to the signal detector 16.
- the signal detector 16 is designed to detect the combination of the three mentioned features of the input clock information in the input signal E.
- the break is first recognized on the basis of its predefined time duration T break of, for example, 70 ms. If a pause has been detected, the system checks for the presence of a pre-start bit. In order to check for the presence of the pre-start bit, use is made of the information known to the receiver that the signal pulse representing the pre-start bit V alone has a duration of more than 9.8 ⁇ s (namely 14 ⁇ s). If the pre-start bit has been detected, then the start bit arriving at the input of the signal detector is sent to the output of the signal detector 16.
- the output of the signal detector 16 forms the control clock signal supplied to the PLL 12 and is shown in Fig. 4b).
- the control clock signal consists solely of the periodic occurring in the input signal E short signal pulse representing the respective start bits S of the incoming data words, and is always output in synchronism with this.
- the phase comparator 22 receives the control clock signal at its input 22.1 and the output clock signal generated by the microcontroller 28 at its input 22.2.
- the phase comparator is designed to generate and deliver at its output 22.3, a DC signal which is proportional to the phase difference of the signals present at its inputs 22.1 and 22.2.
- the output signal of the phase comparator thus contains information about the sign and the magnitude of the phase difference of the synchronous clock signal and the output clock signal of the microcontroller 28.
- the phase difference can be in the case of rectangular signal pulses simply by measuring the time difference of the arrival of the synchronous clock signal at the input 22.1 and Output clock signal at the input 22.2 of the phase comparator 22 determine.
- the DC voltage signal generated by the phase comparator 22 is supplied to the integrator 24.
- the integrator 24 forms a low-pass filter and has at its output a control voltage applied to the time integral of the am Input adjacent DC signal is proportional.
- the control voltage is applied to the control input of the VCO 26 whose output control clock signal is changed according to the level of the control voltage.
- the control clock signal is applied to the clock input 28.1 of the microcontroller 28.
- the microcontroller processes a program stored in it, by means of which it implements the function of a (programmable) frequency divider within the PLL 12. For the present presentation, the programmability is initially ignored. Thus, it is first assumed that the microcontroller forms a frequency divider with a fixed division ratio. It is essential that all activities of the microcontroller are clocked by the control clock signal at the input 28.1. The microcontroller 28 generates in this way its output clock signal, which it returns via its output 28.2 to the input 22.2 of the phase comparator 22.
- the output clock signal is a square pulse with a duration that is greater than the duration of the synchronous clock signal, which is given by the signal detector 16 to the input 22.1 of the phase comparator.
- the synchronization is established when the output clock signal and the synchronous clock signal are centered in time in the middle. This situation is illustrated in FIG. 4c) using the output clock signal A1 as an example, which overlaps in time with the synchronous clock signal S (FIG. 4b)).
- This has the advantage that reception-related fluctuations in the signal duration of the synchronous clock signal have no influence on the phase position of the output clock signal relative to the synchronous clock signal. If one instead synchronized to an edge of the synchronous clock signal, such an influence would be given, whereby the stability of the synchronization would be reduced.
- FIG. 4c shows the output clock signals A2 and A3 two cases in which the synchronization is not yet established.
- the output clock signal A2 arrives at the input 22.2 before the synchronous clock signal S2 is detected at the input 22.1 of the phase comparator 22.
- the phase comparator 22 will apply at its output a corresponding DC voltage, which is supplied via the integrator 24 to the voltage controlled oscillator 26 and to a reduction of the control clock frequency of the voltage controlled oscilloscope.
- lator generated control clock signal leads.
- the microcontroller 28 will reduce the output clock frequency of the output clock signal at its output 28.2. Later output clock signals will therefore be better synchronized with the control clock signal.
- the PLL will react with a time-delayed arrival of the output clock signal at the phase comparator 22, as illustrated by the example of the output clock signal A3 in FIG. 4c).
- the output signal of the phase comparator 22 via the integrator and the VCO 26 will lead to an increase of the output clock frequency of the microcontroller 28. In this way, it is possible to synchronize the output clock signal of the microcontroller 28 with the synchronous clock signal and therefore with the input signal.
- the microcontroller 28 outputs at its output 28.3 a sampling signal with a sampling clock frequency corresponding to the time interval of the individual signal pulses within the data words W1 and W2.
- the sampling signal applied to the output 28.3 is always synchronous with the clock of the signal pulses within the received data words as long as the output clock signal is synchronous with the input clock signal.
- the individual signal pulses received at its input 20.2 can be correctly identified and the individual user data bits contained in the data word can be detected.
- the regenerated useful data bits are output at the output 20.3 of the second gate circuit 20 for further processing.
- an enable signal is generated at an output 22.4 of the phase comparator 22 for the purpose of suppressing interference sources, that - applied to the input 14.2 of the first gate circuit 14 - after both the synchronous clock signal and the output clock signal have arrived, the first gate circuit 14 for a little less than the time from the end of the start bit to the beginning of the next pause in a closed state.
- An example of a suitable time window is identified by the reference symbol F in FIG. 4a).
- the microcontroller implements a programmable frequency divider in a development of the embodiment of FIG.
- integration unit 24 is followed by a window discriminator, not shown here, which generates and outputs a first limit signal indicating that the control voltage has reached an upper limit and generating and outputting a second limit signal indicating that the control voltage has reached a lower limit.
- the microcontroller 28 the first and second limit signal is supplied via inputs not shown.
- the program stored in the microcontroller additionally contains, in addition to the described functionality, steps of reducing the division ratio when the first limit signal is applied and the division ratio is increased when the second limit signal is applied. In this way, the microcontroller 28 can extend the capture range of the PLL well beyond what is enabled by the control bandwidth of the voltage controlled oscillator.
- Fig. 2 shows a possible use of the phase control device of Fig. 1 in the form of a diversity receiver 100. Only the deviating from the circuit of FIG. 1 or parts to be added are shown. These are the receiver part 102 and a first stage 114 of the sync signal detector.
- the receiver part 102 contains two antennas 104 and 106 and in each case downstream receiving circuits 108 and 110, which perform tasks of demodulation and binarization in a known manner.
- the two antennas 104 and 106 like the receivers 108 and 110, are tuned to the same transmission frequency of a transmitter.
- the two antennas 104 and 106 are located at different receiving locations to one according to the diversity principle to allow continuous reception regardless of local cancellations of the received transmission signal by the same strong antiphase echoes thereof.
- the signals output by both receiving circuits form two input signals of the phase control device.
- the circuit 114 of the receiver 100 is connected upstream of the first gate circuit of the phase control device of FIG. First, two inputs 114.1 and 114.2 are provided for input signals of the two receiving circuits 108 and 110. The input signals are further linked to one another via an OR gate 16 and to another via an AND gate 118.
- the OR operation is used to detect the state "1" for the pre-start bit and the start bit.
- a pre-start bit is detected by the signal detector when a pre-start bit is applied from one of the receive circuits 108 or 110 or from both receive circuits 108 and 110.
- the AND operation is used to detect the state "0" for the break. A pause is detected only if both input signals of 108 and 110 indicate the presence of a pause. This logic increases the interference tolerance of the receiver.
- the phase comparator 22 operates on the principle of the charge pump, which is shown in its simplest form Fig. 3.
- the synchronous clock signal 22.1 and the output clock signal 22.2 are each fed to a flip-flop and, when they arrive (the rising edge of the respective signal), are switched to their first stable state (that is, a "1" at their output).
- flip-flop 122.1 or 122.2 is set first, thus closing switch 122.4 or 122.5. If the second signal arrives after the first, then both outputs of both flip-flops are in the state.
- both inputs of AND gate 122.3 are set to logic 1, whereupon this gate carries a logic "1" at the output, which in turn immediately resets both flip-flops.
- FIG. 5 shows a modification of the charge pump according to the invention. Added to this are now a further flip-flop 122.7, an inverter 122.6 and an OR gate 122.8.
- the timing diagram in Fig. 6 shows the desired case of synchronicity, i. the output clock signal is centered in time over the synchronous clock signal.
- the sampling clock clock must start ig nal time before the synchronous clock signal.
- this results in a negative current flowing in the direction of the integrator initially for the time t1 (FIG. 6).
- this In the case of the time relationships shown in FIG. 6, this must now be compensated by an equal positive current. This is ensured by flip-flop 122.7.
- This flip-flop receives the negated by Negator 122.6 synchronous clock signal at its clock input and the output clock signal at its data input.
- flip-flop 122.7 is set and then reset when the output clock signal goes to logic 0 (see Fig. 6)
- a positive current flows for both outputs of flip-flop 122.1 and 122.7 or-linked to the switch 122.4
- FIG Circuit in Fig. 5 represents.
- flip-flop 122.2 would be set by the output clock signal, but not reset by the synchronous clock signal, and a negative current would flow permanently in the direction of the integrator.
- the VCO would then be at its lowest frequency swing. This represents the known behavior of the flip-flop controlled charge pump and is undesirable in the present case.
- FIG. 7 shows a further modified variant of the basic circuit from FIG. 3, which contains the elements from FIG. 6 and has been supplemented by a further flip-flop 122.9, an AND gate 122.10 functioning as a gate.
- the function is identical under the condition that flip-flop 122.9 is not set and 122.2 initially also not identical to the function explained for the circuit of FIG.
- the flip-flop 122.2 with its data (D) connection is no longer connected to VCC but to the negated output of flip-flop 122.2.
- D data
- the flip-flop 122.2 is still set when the output clock signal arrives the next time. A negative current flowed into the integrator just for a period of the output clock signal. However, the output signal of flip-flop 122.2 is now at the data input of flip-flop 122.9. The rising edge of the output clock signal when not yet cleared flip-flop 122.2 now has the consequence that the flip-flop 122.9 is set, which in turn lies with its output at the set input of flip-flop 122.1. This sets flip-flop 122.1. Now both flip-flops 122.1 and 122.2 are set and are reset via AND gate 122.3.
- flip-flop 122.1 Since the set input of flip-flop 122.1 is still logic "1" from the still set flip-flop 122.9, flip-flop 122.1 is still set, while flip-flop 122.2 remains reset, and a positive current now flows into the integrator This condition now remains for one period of the output clock frequency. If the next rising edge of the output clock signal arrives, then flip-flop 122.9 is reset. At its D / data input is still logic "0" from the output of flip-flop 122.2, flip-flop 122.2 is set, and because now both flip-flop 122.1 and 122.2 are set, both flip-flops after Combining their output signals by AND gate 122.3 reset.
