摘要:
A receiver adapted to be coupled to a data bus and configured to receive data in accordance with a receive clock includes first and second delay-locked loops. The first delay-locked loop is configured to generate a plurality of phase vectors from a first reference clock, and the second delay-locked loop is coupled to the first delay-locked loop and configured to generate the receive clock from at least one phase vector selected from the plurality of phase vectors and a second reference clock.
摘要:
Delay locked loop circuitry for generating a predetermined phase relationship between a pair of clocks. A first delay-locked loop includes a delay elements arranged in a chain, the chain receiving an input clock and generating, from each delay element, a set of phase vectors, each shifted a unit delay from the adjacent vector. The first delay-locked loop adjusts the unit delays in the delay chain using a delay adjustment signal so that the phase vectors span a predetermined phase shift of the input clock. A second delay-locked loop selects, from the first delay-locked loop, a pair of phase vectors which brackets the phase of an input clock. A phase interpolator receives the selected pair of vectors and generates an output clock and a delayed output clock, the amount of the delay being controlled by the delay adjustment signal of the first delay-locked loop circuitry. A phase detector compares the delayed output clock with the input clock and adjusts the phase interpolator, based on the phase comparison, so that the phase of the delayed output clock is in phase with the input clock. As a result, there is a predetermined phase relationship between the output clock and the input clock, the phase relationship being the amount of delay between the output clock and the delayed output clock. Different phase relationships between the input and output clock are possible depending on the number of unit delays used in the path of the delayed output clock or the output clock.

An input signal is sent to each of a plurality of drivers where at least one of the drivers is coupled to the data line. The input signal is based upon the comparison.
