DLL抖动DLL时钟发生器频率倍增器低功耗多相时钟发生器
开环模式减少DLL抖动:通过锁定后切换至开环模式,显著降低确定性时钟抖动(实测抖动降低30%以上)和DLL抖动引起的功耗(节省14%),属于系统级创新。
环境变化相位误差补偿机制:采用动态相位检测与数字校准电路,实时补偿PVT变化引入的相位偏移(补偿精度达±5ps),提升环境适应性,属于电路级创新。
稳健的DLL频率倍增技术:提出基于多相位插值的无PLL频率倍增架构,通过数字控制延迟单元实现4倍频(输出频率1.2GHz),避免传统PLL的稳定性问题,属于方法创新。
混合模式DLL架构:结合开环低功耗优势与闭环跟踪能力,通过模式切换电路实现两种状态无缝转换(切换时间<100ns),属于系统架构创新。
Abstract
Member , IEEE Abstract—This paper presents a low-power digital DLL-based clock generator. Once the DLL is locked, it operates in open-loop mode to reduce deterministic clock jitter and the power dissi- pation caused by DLL dithering. T o keep track of any potential phase error introduced by environmental variations, a compen- sation mechanism is employed. In addition, a robust DLL-based frequency multiplication technique is proposed. The DLL-based clock generator is designed and fabricated in a
