    摘要: A delay-locked loop (DLL) capable of directly receiving external clock signals is provided. The DLL comprises a level selector, a control signal generator, and an internal clock signal generator. The level selector receives an external clock signal, and directly outputs the external clock signal, or changes a level of the external clock signal and outputs a changed external clock signal, in response to a control signal. The control signal generator generates the control signal. The internal clock signal generator receives an output signal of the level selector and the external clock signal, and generates an internal clock signal synchronized to a phase of an output signal of the level selector.

    摘要: Delay locked loop circuits are provided that include a delay locked loop that generates a delay locked loop output signal and a jitter suppressor. The jitter suppressor may comprise a delay circuit that receives the delay locked loop output signal and generates one or more delayed versions of the delay locked loop output signal and a phase interpolator that receives the delay locked loop output signal and the one or more delayed versions of the delay locked loop output signal. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the delay circuit may comprise a plurality of serially connected delay cells. Each of these delay cells may delay signals input thereto for at time equal to one clock period of an external clock signal that is input to the delay locked loop.

    摘要: Delay-locked loop integrated circuits include a duty cycle correction circuit. This duty cycle correction circuit generates at least one output clock signal having a substantially uniform duty cycle in response to at least one input clock signal having a non-uniform duty cycle. The duty cycle correction circuit is also responsive to a standby control signal that synchronizes timing of power-saving duty cycle update operations within the duty cycle correction circuit. These update operations reset the set point of the correction circuit.

    摘要: The ability to repair defective cells in a memory array, by replacing those cells with redundant cells, is improved using a redundant memory line control circuit that employs two types of redundancy programming. Most, or all, redundant memory lines can be programmed while the memory array is in a wafer state by, e.g., cutting laser fuses. But at least one memory line can be programmed subsequent to device packaging (“post repair”) using, e.g., commands that cut electric fuses. Preferably, the redundant memory line(s) that are reserved for post repair are selectable among the same redundant memory lines that can be programmed using laser fuses. This allows all redundant memory lines to be available for laser repair, if needed, but also allows a redundant memory line to be selected for post repair after it has been determined that that redundant memory line is defect-free. This increases the likelihood that a device will be repairable, and yet does not unnecessarily waste redundant memory lines by pre-dedicating them to laser or post repair.
