Welcome to the 39th article in the “Circuit Intuitions” column series. As the title suggests, each article provides insights and intuitions into circuit design and analysis. These articles are aimed at undergraduate students but may serve the interests of other readers as well. If you read this article, I would appreciate your comments and feedback as well as your requests and suggestions for future articles in this series. Please e-mail me your comments at ali@ece.utoronto.ca.

Circuit designers have a blind spot when it comes to positive feedback. We’re okay with positive feedback in things like latches and oscillators. Those aren’t supposed to be stable. But for normal control loops with positive feedback, we either believe it can’t be done or believe it shouldn’t be done. Most textbooks on circuits, and even on control theory, tend to dismiss the topic with a few sentences about growing exponentials and certain death (see Figure 1 ). Where did these mental roadblocks come from? Despite all the bad press, positive feedback is far more common—and useful—than you might think. So, stop cowering under your desk and let’s face this like adults.

Digitally assisted analog circuits are becoming the mainstream solution in modern CMOS processes as they improve circuit performance and reduce implementation costs [1] . The most representative example of digital assistance is the compensation of the nonlinearity of an analog block, which is done by applying the digital inverse of the nonlinearity at the output. However, as the digital inverse is not known a priori, it has to be estimated, and the estimation needs to adapt in the background to the environmental conditions. This is typically accomplished by relying on adaptive filtering, i.e., by closing a system-identification engine in feedback that injects a modulation at the input of the nonlinear block. This article, after reviewing the basics of both PLLs and adaptive filters, will explore the most significant calibrations adopted in PLLs.
