Abstract

See full text

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an apparatus comprising a clock generation circuit configured to generate a first signal for a first time period and a second signal for a second time period, a charge pump circuit coupled to the clock generation circuit and configured to generate a first voltage and a second voltage based, at least in part, on the first time period and the second time period, and a comparison circuit coupled to the charge pump circuit, the comparison circuit configured to compare a difference between the first voltage and the second voltage with a threshold value and generate an active tracking enablement signal in response to determining that the difference between the first and second voltages exceeds the threshold value.
