    摘要: A post-silicon technique for adjusting a current of a charge pump in a phase locked loop is provided. The technique involves use of an adjustment circuit operatively connected to the charge pump, where the adjustment circuit is controllable to facilitate an internal biasing of the charge pump. Such control of the charge pump current in a phase locked loop allows a designer to achieve desired PLL performance characteristics after the PLL has been fabricated.

    摘要: A digital delay locked loop uses a delay array to delay an input signal by an amount indicated by a delay code. A phase of the resulting delayed signal is compared to a corresponding phase of the input signal, and dependent on the comparison, the delay code is updated to indicate whether the delay array needs to provide more delay or less delay. The digital delay locked loop also uses a detection circuit that monitors for a predetermined condition of the delay code. In response to detection of the predetermined condition, the delay code is automatically reset to a value different than a value of the delay code present at a previous reset or initial startup of the digital delay locked loop.
