Description

Have error lock and correct the counter controls type delay locked-loop circuit of mechanism
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of digital delay phase-locked loop circuit, particularly a kind of counter controls type delay locked-loop circuit with error lock correction mechanism.
Background technology
Phase-locked loop (PLL) and delay phase-locked loop (DLL) are widely used in the large scale integrated circuit, with solving the skewed clock problem, to the clock signal adjustment of delaying time.Compare with PLL, DLL has more advantage, and it is a first-order system, and good stability has shorter locking time, and simplicity of design does not have jitter accumulation etc., so DLL becomes the main flow circuit that clock signal is delayed time and adjusted gradually at present.
DLL can be divided into analog D LL, digital dll and mixed mode DLL.Anti-clock jitter property and the anti-skewed clock property of analog D LL and mixed mode DLL are relatively good, but this has also limited frequency band range.In addition, analog D LL needs longer locking time and bigger chip area, and the sensitiveness of analog circuit also makes its transplanting under different technology conditions more difficult, and the Design of Simulating Circuits complexity is also bigger.And the advantage of digital dll is that locking time is shorter, designs simplyr, under different process, transplant easily, but because quantization error is arranged, its jitter immunity is good not as analog D LL.
Digital dll can roughly be divided into four types: 1) register controlled DLL; The quantity of its locking time and delay unit is along with the quantity of control figure place increases and increases.2) counter controls DLL; It has replaced the register in the first kind with counter, thereby has reduced the hardware of controller, but its locking time is similar with the first kind with required delay unit number.3) successive approximation DLL; Successive approximation DLL can shorten locking time through binary search algorithm, but its frequency range is narrow.4) time numerical digit conversion hysteria DLL.Be the shortest in all digital dlls the locking time of time numerical digit conversion hysteria DLL, but it needs bigger chip area and power consumption, especially under the broadband condition.The locking time of register controlled DLL and the quantity of delay unit are along with the quantity of control figure place increases and increases; Counter controls DLL has then replaced register with counter; The frequency range of traditional counter controls DLL and register controlled DLL is wider; But its locking time is long, and PVT mistake can occur when changing greatly and locks phenomenon.
In order to satisfy the various characteristic in the different application, DLL must have bigger frequency range, more clock phase output, and to avoid occurring the error lock phenomenon.
Traditional counter controls DLL is as shown in Figure 1, and it comprises digital delay line, phase discriminator and adds/3 main modular of down counter.Digital delay line is made up of the individual identical delay unit of N (N is a natural number), and each delay unit is by the output signal controlling of counter, and phase discriminator compares the clock signal CK after input clock signal CLK and the time-delay NPhase place, add/down counter according to comparative result control, thereby regulate the delay time of digital delay line, make that finally delay time is a clock cycle.
Shown in Figure 2 is that conventional counter is controlled DLL error lock waveform generation mechanism.CLK is an input clock signal, CK 1Be the clock signal through once delaying time, CK 2Be clock signal through twice time-delay, by that analogy, CK NBe clock signal through N time-delay.Work as CK NTime-delay also do not arrive or when having surpassed a clock cycle, again by add/control signal of down counter output increases or reduces the time-delay of a delay unit, and accomplish locking.Because locking process neither one testing mechanism, only signal CK is exported in comparator input signal CLK and final time-delay separately NThe phase place situation, CK when this just can not confirm to accomplish locking NTime-delay whether in satisfying the scope of locking condition, therefore just might form error lock.

When the time-delay of signal CKn, CK ' n and CKn+3 during all above a clock cycle, the time-delay of delay unit is too much, needs the Reduction of Students' Study Load live to hold, and counter subtracts 1 operation; When the time-delay of signal CKn, CK ' n and CKn+3 does not all surpass a clock cycle; The delay unit time-delay is not enough; If this moment, selector switch array K1 ~ Kp was all closed, counter keeps operation, if selector switch array K1 ~ Kp also has not closed; Counter adds 1 operation, continues to increase load capacitance; When signal CKn and CK ' n time-delay surpasses a clock cycle; When the time-delay of CKn+3 surpasses a clock cycle; DLL is about to locking, if this moment, selector switch array K1 ~ Kp was all closed, counter keeps operation; If it is not closed that selector switch array K1 ~ Kp also has, counter adds 1 operation; Surpass a clock cycle when signal CKn delays time, when the time-delay of CK ' n and CKn+3 surpassed a clock cycle, the delay unit time-delay reached locking condition, and counter keeps operation, and DLL accomplishes locking.Through the sequential search algorithm, phase discriminator with add/delay lock that down counter has well been accomplished DLL together function mutually.
After DLL locked fully, this n of CK1 ~ CKn the signal after time-delay drew final needed clock signal P1 ~ Pa through the phase place computing circuit to after wherein some clock is handled, and wherein a is any positive integer.So this DLL finally can obtain a clock phase output signal.
