    摘要: A delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit includes a phase interpolator circuit and variable delay circuit coupled in cascade and operative to generate an output clock signal that is delayed with respect to a reference clock signal responsive to respective first and second control signals applied to the phase interpolator and the variable delay circuit. The DLL circuit further includes a phase control circuit that generates the first and second control signals responsive to the output clock signal and the reference clock signal. The variable delay circuit may provide a coarser resolution than the phase interpolator circuit, for example, the variable delay circuit may include a tapped delay chain circuit configured to provide step changes in delay responsive to the second control signal. The phase control circuit may be operative to cause the phase interpolator circuit to shift from one extreme of a delay range thereof towards another extreme of the delay range concurrent with a step change in delay through the variable delay circuit to thereby limit overcompensation.

    摘要: Impedance-matched output driver circuits utilize predriver circuits with analog control to provide enhanced operating characteristics. This analog control may be provided by an analog loop containing differential amplifiers that set the resolution limit of the output driver circuit. These output driver circuits include a first PMOS pull-up transistor having source and drain terminals electrically connected in series in a pull-up path of the output driver circuit. An NMOS pass transistor has a first current carrying terminal electrically connected to a gate terminal of the first PMOS pull-up transistor and a second current carrying terminal configured to receive a P-type analog reference voltage (VP). This P-type reference voltage controls the conductivity of the first PMOS pull-up transistor in the pull-up path. A gate terminal of the NMOS pass transistor is responsive to a pull-up data input signal (DINP). A first NMOS pull-down transistor has source and drain terminals that are electrically connected in series in a pull-down path of the output driver circuit. A PMOS pass transistor is provided having a first current carrying terminal electrically connected to a gate terminal of the first NMOS pull-down transistor and a second current carrying terminal configured to receive an N-type analog reference voltage (VN). This N-type reference voltage controls the conductivity of the first NMOS pull-down transistor in the pull-down path. A gate terminal of the PMOS pass transistor is responsive to a pull-down data input signal (DINN).
