DELAY-LOCKED LOOP

摘要

The delay-locked-loop (100) comprises at least two delay elements, of which a first delay element (10) has a positive delay line and an input for receiving a clock, and of which a second delay element (11) has a negative delay line and an input for receiving a clock, a clock selector (13) for selecting the clock from one of the two delay lines, a phase detector (14) with an input for receiving data and for comparing the phase of the data to that of the selected clock, and a control block (12) which produces control signals for controlling the two delay lines such that they react in opposite directions to a signal from the phase detector (14). Such a delay-locked-loop suitable for accurate clock generation in plesio-sinchronous communication systems.
