    摘要: A delay locked loop implementing design-for-test features to test for, among other, stuck-at-faults is provided. The delay locked loop uses multiplexers as design-for-test devices for controllability purposes and flip-flops as design-for-test devices for observability purposes. Such implementation of design-for-test features within a delay locked loop allows for pre-packaging delay locked loop verification and testing.

    摘要: A technique Readjusting a bias-generator in a delay locked loop after fabrication of the delay locked loop. The technique involves use of an adjustment circuit operatively connected to the bias-generator, where the adjustment circuit is controllable to facilitate a modification of a voltage output by the bias-generator. Such control of the voltage output by the bias-generator allows a designer to achieve a desired delay locked loop performance characteristic after the delay locked loop has been fabricated.
