Abstract: A methodology is disclosed that enables the delay stages of an analog delay locked loop (DLL) or phase locked loop (PLL) to be programmed according to the operating condition, which may depend on the frequency of the input reference clock. The resulting optimized delay stages allow for a broad frequency range of operation, fast locking time over a wide range of input clock frequencies, and a lower current consumption at high clock frequencies. Better performance is achieved by allowing the number of analog delay stages active during a given operation to be flexibly set. The deactivation or turning off of unused delay stages conserves power at higher frequencies. The high frequency range of operation is increased by using a flexible number of delay stages for various input clock frequencies. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

Abstract: A phase-lock loop generates an output clock signal from an input clock signal. The output clock signal is coupled through a clock tree and is fed back to a phase detector, which compares the phase of the output clock signal to the phase of the input clock signal. The output clock signal is generated by a voltage controlled oscillator having a control input coupled to receive an output from the phase detector, and a frequency multiplier coupled to the output of the voltage controlled oscillator. As a result, the CLKOUT signal generated by the frequency multiplier has a relatively high frequency while the voltage controlled oscillator, by operating at a relatively low frequency, uses relatively little power.

Abstract: A delay-locked loop circuit receiving an input clock signal and generating an output clock signal whose delay is locked to the input clock includes a voltage controlled delay line (VCDL), a multiplexer, a phase detection control loop and a phase selection control loop. The VCDL generates a set of multi-phase delayed clock signals. The multiplexer selects one of the delayed clock signals as the output clock signal based on a select signal. The phase detection control loop measures the phase difference between the input and output clock signals and generate a control voltage for driving the VCDL. The phase selection control loop measures the control voltage and generates the select signal based on the control voltage, causing the multiplexer to select a delayed clock signal with increased or decreased amount of phase delay relative to the currently selected delayed clock signal or to hold the currently selected delayed clock signal.

Abstract: A phase locked loop (PLL) and method for stable clock generation in applications of wide band channel clock recovery performs frequency detection and phase detection with respect to an eight to fourteen modulation (EFM) signal and a PLL clock signal, and adjusts the current based on the results of the frequency detection and the phase detection, thereby generating the PLL clock signal synchronized with the EFM signal. The PLL includes a charge pump, a first low-pass filter, a voltage controlled oscillator and a static phase error controller. The charge pump sources or sinks the current in response to the results of the frequency detection and the phase detection and outputs the result of sourcing or sinking the current. The first low-pass filter low-pass filters the signal output from the charge pump and outputs the filtered result as a direct current control voltage.
