CLOCK GENERATOR AND CLOCK GENERATING METHOD USING DELAY LOCKED LOOP

摘要

Embodiments of a clock generator and a clock generating method can use a delay locked loop (DLL). In one embodiment, a clock generator can include a first oscillator to generate a first clock signal having a frequency corresponding to a control signal, a delay locked loop to generate a second clock signal having a frequency higher than that of the first clock signal, a frequency divider to receive the second clock signal to generate a third clock signal having a frequency lower than that of the second clock signal, a second oscillator to generate a fourth clock signal and a phase frequency detector to generate the control signal corresponding to a phase difference and/or a frequency difference between the third clock signal and the fourth clock signal.
