发明名称 Methods and apparatus for a digital pulse width modulator using multiple delay locked loops
摘要 A pulse width modulation circuit includes a first delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit and a second DLL circuit. The first DLL is coupled to a first multiplexer and has a first set of delay stages, wherein the first DLL circuit is configured to receive an input clock signal and, through the first multiplexer, produce a first stage delay signal associated with the first set of delay stages, wherein the first stage delay signal leads the input clock signal by a first duration. The second DLL circuit is coupled to a second multiplexer and has a second set of delay stages, wherein the second DLL circuit is configured to receive the input clock signal and, through the second multiplexer, produce a second stage delay signal associated with the second set of delay stages, wherein the second stage delay signal lags the first stage delay signal by a second duration; wherein the first DLL circuit and second DLL circuit are operatively coupled to produce an output signal having a pulse width equal to the difference between the first duration and the second duration.
