Abstract
A wide-range delay-locked loop (DLL) with a fixed latency of one clock cycle is proposed. The phase selection circuit and the start-controlled circuit are used for this DLL to enlarge the operating frequency range and eliminate the harmonic locking problems. The operating frequency range of the DLL can be from 1/T/sub Dmin/ to 1/(N/spl times/T/sub Dmax/), where T/sub Dmin/ and T/sub Dmax/ are the minimum and maximum delay of a delay cell, respectively, and N is the number of delay cells used in the delay line theoretically. The prototype chip is fabricated in a 0.35-um 1P3M CMOS process. The measurement results exhibit the proposed DLL can operate from 6 MHz to 130 MHz and the latency of this DLL is just one clock cycle. From the entire operating frequency range, the maximum rms jitter doesn't exceed 25 ps. The DLL occupies an active area of 880-um/spl times/515-um and consumes a maximum power of 132 mW at 130 MHz.
