A new dual-loop digital delay-locked loop (DLL) using a hybrid (binary + sequential) search algorithm is presented to achieve both wide-range operation and high delay resolution. A new phase-interpolation range selector (PIRS) and a variable successive approximation register (VSAR) algorithm are adopted to resolve the boundary switching and harmonic locking problems of conventional digital DLLs. The proposed digital DLL, implemented in a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, occupies an active area of $0.19mm^2$ and operates over a wide frequency range of 0.15-1.5 GHz. The DLL dissipates a power of 11.3 mW from a 1.8 V supply at 1 GHz. The measured peak-to-peak output clock jitter is 24 ps (effective pk-pk jitter = 16.5 ps) with an input clock jitter of 7.5 ps at 1.5 GHz. The delay resolution is only 2.2 ps.

본 연구에서 고속 데이터 전송을 위해 Double Data Rate(DDR) 방식을 사용하는 SDRAM에 내장할 수 있는 저전압 광대역 Delay Locked Loop(DLL) 회로를 설계하였다. 고해상도와 빠른 Lock-on 시간을 위하여 새로운 유형의 위상검출기론 설계하였고 카운터 및 Indicator 등 내장회로의 빠른 동작을 위해 Dual-Data Dual-Clock 플립플롭(DCDD FF)에 기반을 둔 설계를 수행하였으며 이 FF을 사용하므로서 소자수를 70% 정도 감소시킬 수 있었다. Delay Line 중에서 Coarse 부분은 0.2ns 이하까지 검출 가능하며 위상오차를 더욱 감소시키고 빠른 Lock-on 기간을 얻기 위해 Fine 부분에 3-step Vernier Line을 설계하였다. 이 방식을 사용한 본 DLL의 위상오차는 매우 적고 25ps 정도이다. 본 DLL의 Locking 범위는 50∼500MHz로 넓으며 5 클럭 이내의 빠른 Locking을 얻을 수 있다. 0.25um CMOS 공정에서 1.8V 공급전압 사용시 소비전류는 500MHZ 주파수에서 32mA이다. 본 DLL은 고주파 통신 시스템의 동기화와 같은 다른 응용면에도 이용할 수 있다.

This paper described a replica-delay adaptive lock-acquisition scheme for high-speed DLLs. The proposed scheme provides the fast and correct locking cycle that is variable according to the magnitude of the arbitrary replica delay (fixed delay). The scheme guarantees the wide operation range and the fast lock-aquisition time. It has been confirmed by HSPICE simulations in a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process.

A 3.3V PLL(Phase Locked loop) is designed for a high frequency, low voltage, and low power applications. This paper proposes a new PLL architecture to improve voltage to frequency linearity of VCO(Voltage controlled oscillator) with new delay cell. The proposed VCO operates at a wide frequency range of 30MHz~1㎓ with a good linearity. The DC-DC voltage up/down converter is utilized to regulate the control voltage of the two-stage VCO. The designed PLL architecture is implemented on a 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well CMOS process. The simulation results show a locking time of 2.6$\mu$sec at 1Hz, Lock in range of 100MHz~1㎓, and a power dissipation of 112㎽.

본 논문에서는 기존의 위상 고정 루프를 병렬 형태로 이중 루프를 구성하였다. 두 개의 루프를 통해서 전달 특성에 따라 원하는 크기의 대역폭을 만든다. 대역 폭의 형태는 동작하는 주파수 대역에서 잡음을 최소화 할 수 있는 위상 고정 루프를 설계하였다. 제안한 위상고정루프는 두 가지 필터를 제어하기 위하여 두 개의 기울기 값을 가지는 전압제어 발진기를 사용하였다. 또한 정확한 위상 고정을 위하여 위상 고정 상태 표시기를 사용하였다. 전체적인 위상 고정 루프가 안정적인 동작하기 위하여 각 각의 루프가 각각 $58.2^{\circ}$, $49.4^{\circ}$의 위상 여유를 가지고 있으며 두 개의 루프를 합쳤을 때에도 $45^{\circ}$이상의 안정적인 위상 여유를 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 제안된 위상 고정 루프는 1.8V 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계 되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 이중 루프를 가지고 위상고정루프의 구조가 원하는 출력 주파수를 생성하며 안정적으로 동작하는 것을 보여 주었다.

An all-digital delay-locked loop (DLL) for a mobile memory interface, which runs at 0.11-2.5 GHz with a phase-shift capability of $180^{\circ}$, has two internal DLLs: a global DLL which uses a time-to-digital converter to assist fast locking, and shuts down after locking to save power; and a local DLL which uses a phase detector with an adaptive phase sampling window (WPD) to reduce jitter accumulation. The WPD in the local DLL adjusts the width of its sampling window adaptively to control the loop bandwidth, thus reducing jitter induced by UP/DN dithering, input clock jitter, and supply/ground noise. Implemented in a 65 nm CMOS process, the DLL operates over 0.11-2.5 GHz. It locks within 6 clock cycles at 0.11 GHz, and within 17 clock cycles at 2.5 GHz. At 2.5 GHz, the integrated jitter is $954fs_{rms}$, and the long-term jitter is $2.33ps_{rms}/23.10ps_{pp}$. The ratio of the RMS jitter at the output to that at the input is about 1.17 at 2.5 GHz, when the sampling window of the WPD is being adjusted adaptively. The DLL consumes 1.77 mW/GHz and occupies $0.075mm^2$.

Rapid and accurate phase synchronization is critical for the reliable control of grid-tied inverters. However, the commonly used software phase-locked loop methods do not always satisfy the need for high-speed and accurate phase synchronization under severe grid imbalance conditions. To address this problem, this study develops a novel open-loop phase locking scheme based on a synchronous reference frame. The proposed scheme is characterized by remarkable response speed, high accuracy, and easy implementation. It comprises three functional cascaded blocks: fast orthogonal signal generation block, fast fundamental-frequency positive sequence component construction block, and fast phase calculation block. The developed virtual orthogonal signal generation method in the first block, which is characterized by noise immunity and high accuracy, can effectively avoid approximation errors and noise amplification in a wide range of sampling frequencies. In the second block, which is the foundation for achieving fast phase synchronization within 3 ms, the fundamental-frequency positive sequence components of unsymmetrical grid voltages can be achieved with the developed orthogonal signal construction strategy and the symmetrical component method. The real-time grid phase can be consequently obtained in the third block, which is free from self-tuning closed-loop control and thus improves the dynamic performance of the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme is adaptive to severe unsymmetrical grid voltages with sudden changes in magnitude, phase, and/or frequency. Moreover, this scheme is able to eliminate phase errors induced by harmonics and random noise. The validity and utility of the proposed scheme are verified by the experimental results.

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.

We theoretically studied synchronization of chaotic oscillation in semiconductor lasers with chaotic light injection feed-back induced chaotic light generated from a master semiconductor laser was injected into a solitary slave semiconductor laser. The slave laser subsequently exhibited synchronized chaotic output for a wide parameter range with strong injection and frequency detuning within the injection locking scheme. We also analytically examined chaos synchronization based on a linear stability analysis from the view point of synchronization based on a linear stability analysis from the view point of modulation response of injection locked semiconductor lasers to chaotic light signal.
