A reset-free anti-harmonic programmable multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL) that provides flexible integer clock multiplication for high performance clocking applications is presented. The proposed MDLL removes harmonic locking problems by utilizing a simple harmonic lock detector and control logic, which allows this MDLL to change the input clock frequency and multiplication factor during operation without the use of start-up circuitry and external reset. A programmable voltage controlled delay line (VCDL) is utilized to achieve a wide operating frequency range from 80 MHz to 1.2 GHz with a multiplication factor of 4, 5, 8, 10, 16 and 20. This MDLL achieves a measured peak-to-peak jitter of 20 ps at 1.2 GHz.

A new area-efficient multi-phase clock frequency multiplier is presented. The proposed fractional-ratio frequency multiplying DLL (FFMDLL) is implemented in a 65 nm CMOS process and occupies an active area of just $0.01mm^2$. The proposed FFMDLL provides 8-phase output clocks and achieves a frequency range of 0.6-1.0 GHz with programmable multiplication ratios of N/M, where N = 4, 5, 8, 10 and M = 1, 2, 3. It achieves an effective peak-to-peak jitter of 5 ps and dissipates 3.4 mW from a 1.0 V supply at 1 GHz.
