摘要： A semiconductor memory device having a partially controlled delay locked loop includes a delay locked loop and a control signal generator. The control signal generator generates a first control signal and a second control signal, which are responsive to first through fifth mode selection signals for selecting operation modes of the semiconductor memory, device to partially turn the delay locked loop on or off. If the first control signal or the second control signal is activated, a portion of the delay locked loop to which the first or second control signal is applied is turned off. If the first control signal or the second control signal is deactivated, a portion of the delay locked loop to which the first or second control signal is applied is turned on. If the first mode selection signal is activated, only the second control signal is activated. If the second mode selection signal is activated, the first and second control signals are deactivated. If at least one of the third through fifth mode selection signals is activated, the first and second control signals are activated. Since the semiconductor memory device includes a built-in delay locked loop which is partially turned on or off, current consumption of the semiconductor memory device can be reduced.

摘要： A process-insensitive self-biasing PLL circuit and self-biasing method thereof prevent deterioration of loop stability even when there is a fabrication process variation. The self-biasing PLL circuit includes a phase frequency detector, a main charge pump circuit, an auxiliary charge pump circuit, a first operational amplifier, a second operational amplifier, a voltage-controlled oscillator, a divider, and a bias circuit. In the self-biasing PLL circuit, the first operational amplifier amplifies the voltage of a loop filter capacitor and the second operational amplifier serving as a regulator amplifies the output voltage of the first operational amplifier. The output voltage of the second operational amplifier is used as a control voltage of the voltage-controlled oscillator. Particularly, the bias circuit generates a first bias current using an NMOS transistor, generates a second bias current using a PMOS transistor, and sums up the first and second bias currents to generate a third bias current in response to the output voltage of the second operational amplifier. The first bias current is provided to the main charge pump circuit and the auxiliary charge pump circuit as their bias currents, and the third bias current is provided to the first operational amplifier as its bias current.
