    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.

    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.
