    摘要: In the present invention, an external power source supplied to an integrated circuit device is divided into a first external power source for the DLL circuit and a second external power source for circuits other than the DLL circuit. According to the present invention, it is arranged that power source noise generated in the second external power source cannot be transmitted to the variable delay circuit by utilizing the first external power source preferably for the variable delay circuit of the DLL circuit and even more preferably for its delay unit. Also, preferably, it is arranged that power source noise generated in the second external power source cannot be transmitted to the phase coincidence detection unit by utilizing the first power source for the phase coincidence detection unit in the phase comparison circuit of the DLL circuit. Also, by connecting the first external earthing power source to the variable delay circuit and/or phase coincidence detection unit, the effect of power source noise from the second external earthing power source originating from the operation of circuits other than these is suppressed.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit is adapted to make invalid an external clock, externally supplied to the semiconductor integrated circuit, when the semiconductor integrated circuit is set in an active power-down state. The semiconductor integrated circuit includes a delay locked loop DLL circuit which outputs an internal clock which phase is synchronized to the external clock. A latch circuit retains control signals in synchronism with the internal clock output by the DLL circuit. An internal circuit performs a predetermined process based on the control signals supplied from the latch circuit.

    摘要: The present invention has a hierarchical DLL circuit comprising a rough DLL circuit for phase adjustment by rough delay unit and a fine DLL circuit for phase adjustment by smaller, fine delay unit. When phase adjustment begins, only the rough DLL circuit operates; when the rough DLL circuit locks on, phase adjustment by the rough DLL circuit ends and the delay amount of the rough DLL circuit is set. When the rough DLL circuit locks on, the fine DLL circuit is caused to operate. In this way, the phase of the timing clock generated by the DLL circuit is adjusted only by fine delay units even if the phase of the reference clock is temporarily shifted by a large amount due to power source noise or the like. Consequently, in the event of temporary phase shifting, the amount of jitter in the timing clock can be suppressed to the small amount of a fine delay unit. Phase adjustment by the rough DLL circuit is stopped by ending phase comparison by the phase comparison circuit, or ending the input of the clock to the phase comparison circuit, for example.

    摘要: The present invention omits a variable delay circuit (10 in FIG. 1) inside a DLL circuit, and instead, creates a timing synchronization circuit, which generates a second reference clock. The timing synchronization circuit shifts the phase of a first reference clock generated by a frequency divider to the timing of a timing signal generated from the other variable delay circuit so that the second reference clock matches to the timing signal. Then, a phase comparator compares the divided first reference clock to a variable clock that delays the second reference clock, and controls the delay time of the variable delay circuit so that both clocks are in phase. As a result, one variable delay circuit can be omitted, and a DLL circuit that uses a divided clock can be configured.
