A system and method are disclosed for providing a DLL with false lock protector to avoid false lock and ensure accurate lock. The false lock protector operates when the initial delay time between signals from an input reference clock and an output clock exceeds the lock range during operation of the DLL. The DLL with false lock protector includes a reference clock, a delay line composed of several delay cells connected in series, a phase detector, comparator for comparing phases of signals from the reference and output clocks, a determinator and a controller for controlling the delay of the delay line.

A technique is disclosed for providing a charge pump circuit for phase locked loop (PLL) to reduce mismatch of up/down currents and feed-through of up/down currents to voltage output. Elimination of feed-through of the input signal may be achieved by using differential switches (M1 and M2, and M3 and M4) based on DC reference voltage in the charge pump and also eliminate the mismatch of up/down currents in a wide voltage output range by applying a new replica biasing using feedback.

A system and method are disclosed for providing a FSK demodulator using DLL and a demodulating method which detects a time order of the rising edges of square waves that correspond to two modulation frequencies and an in-between frequency and demodulates the relevant frequencies into data. The FSK demodulator includes a band-pass filter, an amplitude limiter for converting a waveform of the frequency filtered into a square wave, a delay line for receiving the square wave from the amplitude limiter and delaying the square wave for a delay time, a delayed flip-flop (DFF) for receiving an output signal from the amplitude limiter and an output signal from the delay line, determining which rising edge of the two input signals is earlier at a given time, and outputting the result of the determination as data, and a DLL circuit that locks the delay time of the delay line.
