  • Publication number: 20220200608
    Abstract: A digital phase-frequency detector characterizes a delay between two input clock signals using a ring oscillator. A cycle count of a ring oscillator signal circulating through a loop in the ring oscillator during the delay provides a coarse measurement of the delay. A phase of the ring oscillator signal in the loop at the end of the delay provides a fine measurement of the delay. A digital phase-locked loop may control an oscillation frequency of a digitally-controlled oscillator responsive to the fine measurement of the delay and control a division within a clock divider responsive to the coarse measurement of the delay.
