    摘要: Digital delay lock circuits and methods for operating digital delay lock circuits are provided. A phase detector is configured to receive first and second clock signals and generate a digital signal indicating a relationship between a phase of the first clock signal and a phase of the second clock signal. A phase accumulator circuit is configured to receive the digital signal and generate a phase signal based on values of the digital signal over multiple clock cycles. A decoder is configured to receive the phase signal and generate a digital control word based on the phase signal. A delay element is configured to receive the digital control word. The delay element is further configured to change the relationship between the phase of the first clock signal and the phase of the second clock signal by modifying the phase of the second clock signal according to the digital control word.

    摘要: A controlling circuit for ring oscillator is provided. First and second transistors of a first conductive type are coupled in series and between a node and a first power source. Third and fourth transistors of a second conductive type are coupled in parallel and between the node and a second power source. The node is coupled to an input of a delay chain of the ring oscillator. The second and third transistors are coupled in series and gates of the second and third transistors are configured to receive an output signal of the delay chain. When the first transistor is turned off and the fourth transistor is turned on, the node is pulled to a first logic level from a second logic level in order to align a phase of a waveform of the ring oscillator.
