Abstract:
A phase locked loop that generates an internal clock by controlling a delay time of a delay cell according to conditions of PVT, thereby improving a jitter characteristic of the internal clock. The delay cell includes a first current controller for controlling first and second currents in response to a control voltage, and a second current controller for controlling the first and second currents in response to frequency range selection signals. The phase locked loop includes a phase comparator for comparing a reference clock with a feedback clock, a control voltage generator for generating a control voltage corresponding to an output of the phase comparator, and a voltage controlled oscillator for generating an internal clock having a frequency in response to the control voltage and one or more frequency range control signals, wherein the feedback clock is generated using the internal clock.
