マルチモードの移動通信装置のための構成可能なマルチモジュラス分周器

Japanese Patent JP4834113

B2

Within a mobile communication device (for example, a cellular telephone), there is a local oscillator. The local oscillator includes a novel frequency divider that includes a novel configurable multi-modulus divider (CMMD). The frequency divider is configurable into a selectable one of multiple configurations involving different mixes of synchronous and asynchronous circuitry. In each configuration, the frequency divider produces an amount of noise and consumes an amount of power. Power consumption is loosely inversely related to noise produced in that the modes with the highest power consumption produce the least amount of noise, and vice versa. The mobile communication device is operable in one of multiple different communication standards (for example, GSM, CDMA1X and WCDMA). The different communication standards impose different noise requirements on the frequency divider. By using the lowest power configuration that satisfies the noise requirements of the standard being used, power consumption of the cellular telephone is reduced.
