A New DLL-Based Approach for All-Digital Multiphase Clock Generation

Abstract: Abstract-A new DLL-based approach for all-digital multiphase clock generation is presented. By using the time-to-digital converter (TDC) with fixed-step search scheme, the proposed all-digital and cell-based solution can overcome the false-lock problem in conventional designs. Furthermore, the proposed all-digital multiphase clock generator (ADMCG) can easily be ported to different processes in a short time. Thus, it can reduce the design time and design complexity in many different applications. The test chip… Show more

“…In the earlier delay-locked loop (DLL)-based multiphase clock generation approach [11], the TDC enables a delay line locked to a single clock period , giving a in each delay stage. In a high-speed cell-based DLL design, however, maintaining such a short delay and a high resolution simultaneously is difficult.…”

“…However, the antifalse-lock algorithm requires a complicated logic with less design flexibility. The works in [7] and [8] use a time-to-digital converter (TDC) scheme to measure a clock period for an antiharmonic lock. Although the TDC selects a proper delay range according to the input frequency, the processing block for estimating a single period and the buffer chain with TDC require large chip area and power consumption.…”

“…Although the TDC selects a proper delay range according to the input frequency, the processing block for estimating a single period and the buffer chain with TDC require large chip area and power consumption. In addition, the work in [8] needs an external reset signal for correcting the locking process. The work in [9] can correct the PD stuck false lock but should wait until the stuck false lock falls into a harmonic-lock condition.…”

“…For multi-phase clock generation, delay-locked loops (DLLs) are often used [3]. Other than a DLL, a shift register can also be used to generate multi-phase clocks [2].…”
