DELAY LINE CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
摘要:
A delay line circuit including: a coarse-tuning arrangement, including delay units, the coarse-tuning arrangement being configured to coarsely-tune an input signal by transferring the input signal through a selected number of the delay units and thereby producing a first output signal; and a fine-tuning arrangement configured to receive the first output signal at a beginning of a signal path which includes at least three serially-connected inverters, finely-tune the first output signal along the signal path, and produce a second output signal at an end of the signal path; the fine-tuning arrangement including: a speed control unit which is selectively-connectable, and a switching circuit to selectively connect the speed control unit to the signal path based on a process-corner signal.
