in this paper, a high speed delay-locked loop (dll) architecture ispresented which can be employed in high frequency applications. in order to design the new architecture, a new mixed structure is presented for phase detector (pd) and charge pump (cp) which canbe triggered by double edges of the input signals. in addition, the blind zone is removed due to the elimination of reset signal. theref...

A DLL(Delay Locked Loop) with DCC(Duty Cycle Correction) has become an essential block in high speed memory and digital circuits. An SMD(Synchronous Mirror Delay) structure is widely used both for skew reduction and for DCC. In this paper, an area-efficient DLL structure based on the merged dual SMD is proposed. The merged structure allows the forward delay array to be shared between the DLL an...

This paper proposes a fast-locking digital delay-locked loop (DLL) with multiphase outputs using mixed-mode-controlled delay line (MCDL). The proposed DLL uses a dual-loop technique to control various MOS capacitors and an MOS resistor in the MCDL to improve locking time and reduce static phase error. The chip was fabricated using a 0.35 μm standard CMOS process with a 3.3 V supply voltage. The...

Settling time is one of the most important parameter in design of DLLs. In this paper we propose a new high speed with low settling time Delay Locked Loop (DLL) in which a digital signal processor (DSP) is used instead of using phase-frequency detector, charge pump and loop filter in conventional DLL. To have better settling time, PRP conjugate gradient algorithm is used to optimize delay of ea...

Received Mar 17, 2017 Revised Sep 8, 2017 Accepted Sep 20, 2017 Delay locked loop is a critical building block of high speed synchronous circuits. An improved architecture of amixed signaldelay locked loop (DLL) is presented here. In this DLL, delay cell based on single ended differential pair configuration is used for voltage controlled delay line (VCDL) implementation. This delay cell provide...

A phase-locked loop (PLL) and delay-locked loop (DLL) design with adaptively adjusting bandwidth enables optimal performance over a wide frequency range and across process, voltage, and temperature variations. A design methodology of such adaptive-bandwidth PLLs and DLLs is described. To assess the impact of each circuit parameter directly, we derive a discrete-time, open-loop dynamic model of ...

In this paper, a multipath mitigation tracking system is presented for static GPS applications. It is comprised of four function blocks, those being (1) adaptive path estimator (APE), (2) multipath interference reproducer (MPIR), (3) Rake-based delay locked loop (RB-DLL), and (4) Rake-based phase locked loop (RB-PLL). Only the short delay condition with delay less than 1.5 PN chip is considered...
