    摘要: Strobe signals are coupled to a phase detector which compares rising and falling edges of the respective strobe signals. If the phase detector determines that there is a mismatch, it outputs an UP or DOWN control signal to a control circuit. The control circuit then transmits the UP or DOWN control signal to edge adjusting circuits connected to each strobe and data stream between the flip flop and pre-driver. The edge adjusting then adds a delay to each respective strobe and data stream which incrementally compensates for the mismatch created by PVT variations. The process is repeated until the high and low data outputs are effectively matched, thereby maximizing the data eye.

    摘要: Fine tuned signal phase adjustments are provided by multiple cascaded phase mixers. Each phase mixer outputs a signal having a phase between the phases of its two input signals. With each subsequent stage of phase mixers, the signals generated by the phase mixers have a smaller phase difference, thereby providing finer delay adjustments. Multiple stages of phase mixers can be provided in digital delay-locked loop circuitry to provide additional hierarchical delay adjustment.

    摘要: A clock generating circuit includes a phase comparison circuit that generates a delay control signal corresponding o the relative phases of an output clock signal and a reference clock signal. A voltage controlled delay circuit generates the delayed clock signal by inverting a signal applied to its input and delaying the signal by a delay that is determined by a delay control signal. A selection circuit couples either the reference clock signal or the delayed clock signal to the input of the voltage controlled delay circuit. When the reference clock signal is coupled to the input of the voltage controlled delay circuit, the clock generating circuit functions as a delay-lock loop. When the delayed clock signal is coupled to the input of the voltage controlled delay circuit, the voltage controlled delay circuit operates as a ring oscillator so that the clock generating circuit functions as a phase-lock loop.

    摘要: Digital delay-locked loops (DLLs) and methods are provided for signal frequency multiplication. Analog delay elements of typical frequency-multiplying DLLs are replaced with digital and digitally-controlled elements including a variable delay line. The number of unit delay elements in the delay line can be selected to produce a desired output signal delay. Phase-mixing of multiple variable delay line outputs achieves finer delay-time adjustments.

    摘要: It is provided a delay locked loop for obtaining a reduced jitter and a stable time delay adjustment to thereby perform a bi-directional time delay with a small area even at low frequency applications. The delay locked loop includes an input unit for receiving a clock signal and a non-clock signal and comparing received signals to produce an internal clock signal, a controller for receiving the internal clock to produce a control signal, a bi-directional oscillator, responsive to the control signal from the control means, for performing a ring oscillation in a first or second direction and fulfilling an addition and subtraction adjustment function for a time delay, a counter for receiving an output signal of the bi-directional oscillator and counting the number that the signal is passed therethrough, and an AND gate for performing a combination operation on the outputs of the bi-directional oscillating means and the counting means, to produce the result as a final internal clock signal.
