Fig. 1 is an overall connection diagram of a digital preconditioning based delay phase-locked system provided by the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the digital pre-conditioning based delay phase locking system provided by the present invention includes a delay phase locking module, a digital pre-conditioning module 1 and a start-up module 2.

The invention can adjust the delay unit according to the frequency of the input clock signal and the manufacturing process condition of the circuit, thereby eliminating the influence of the factors on the delay phase-locked loop; meanwhile, as the delay unit under each specific configuration code always works near the optimal working point, the delay range provided by the delay unit can be limited, and harmonic locking can not be generated.
FIG. 2 is a connection diagram of the digital pre-conditioning module shown in FIG. 1; as shown in fig. 2, the digital pre-conditioning module includes a digital phase detector 11 and successive comparison logic 12; the CLKIN and CLKO are connected to an input terminal of the digital phase detector 11, and the digital phase detector 11 generates a STEP signal (hereinafter referred to as STEP), a DATA signal (hereinafter referred to as DATA) and an END signal (hereinafter referred to as END) according to a phase difference of the CLKIN and CLKO; the STEP, DATA, and END signals are connected to the inputs of successive comparison logic 12; the successive comparison logic 12 determines each bit CODE value (logic "1" or "0") in sequence according to the signal values of STEP, DATA and END, and returns a reset signal (hereinafter referred to as RST) after determining each bit CODE value, and the reset signal RST is connected to the reset END of the digital phase discriminator 11; the digital pre-conditioning module ENDs operation when the CODE values are all asserted, or the END signal is a logic "1".
Fig. 3 is a connection diagram of the digital phase detector shown in fig. 2; fig. 4 is a signal timing diagram of the digital pre-conditioning module shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, the digital phase detector includes a first flip-flop 101, a second flip-flop 102, a third flip-flop 103, a fourth flip-flop 104, a fifth flip-flop 105, a sixth flip-flop 106, a first or gate 201, a second or gate 202, a nor gate 203, an inverter 204, a first delay unit 301, a second delay unit 302, and a quarter-frequency circuit 303. The phase discrimination process is as follows:
after the first rising edge of CLKIN, the first flip-flop 101 transmits a logic "1" at the input to the output, i.e., the inputs of the second flip-flop 102 and the fourth flip-flop 104; the second flip-flop 102, the first delay unit 301 and the third flip-flop 103 form an input signal chain; after the second rising edge and the third rising edge of CLKIN, the logic '1' is respectively transmitted to the output ends of the second trigger and the third trigger to complete the input signal chain transmission;
the fourth flip-flop 104, the second delay unit 302 and the fifth flip-flop 105 form an output signal chain; after the first rising edge of CLKO and the third rising edge of CLKIN, the logic '1' will be transmitted to the output ends of the fourth and fifth flip-flops respectively, thus completing the transmission of the output signal chain;
when the first rising edge of CLKO lags the second rising edge of CLKIN, the input signal chain may complete the transmission, while the fourth flip-flop 104 is reset by the second or gate 202 to cut off the output signal transmission chain when the logic "1" is transmitted to the first delay cell 301;
when the first rising edge of CLKO leads the second rising edge of CLKIN, the output signal chain may complete the transmission, while the second flip-flop 102 is reset by the first or gate 201 to cut off the input signal transmission chain when the logic "1" is transmitted to the second delay cell 302;
when the transmission of the input signal chain or the output signal chain is completed, a logic "1" is transmitted to one input end of the nor gate 203, so that the output end thereof is a logic "0", and a STEP signal of a logic "1" is output through the inverter 204;
the output value of the third flip-flop 103 is output as a DATA signal, where DATA outputs a logic "1" when the input signal chain completes transmission, and DATA outputs a logic "0" when the output signal chain completes transmission;
when the STEP signal outputs a logic "1", that is, the CLKIN rises for the third time, the successive comparison logic 12 in fig. 2 reads the DATA value and returns a logic "1" pulse of the RST to reset the digital phase detector 11 for the next phase detection; each phase discrimination will cause successive comparison logic 12 to determine a one-bit CODE; the digital preconditioning process ends after the CODE CODEs are all determined.
Particularly, when the phase difference between CLKIN and CLKO is smaller than the delay time of the first delay unit 301 or the second delay unit 302, a logic "1" is transmitted to the outputs of the first delay unit and the second delay unit in sequence, so that the first or gate 201 and the second or gate 202 output a logic "1", the second flip-flop 102 and the fourth flip-flop 104 are reset at the same time, and the input signal chain and the output signal chain are all cut off; in this case, the STEP signal is still logic "0" when the third rising edge of the CLKIN signal arrives, and the phase discrimination will continue; the fourth rising edge of the CLKIN signal will cause the output of the divide-by-four circuit 303 to appear as a rising edge that is transmitted to the clock terminal of the sixth flip-flop 106; the input terminal of the sixth flip-flop 106 is all logic "0", and thus logic "1" appears, and this logic "1" is transmitted to the output terminal of the sixth flip-flop 106 and is output to the successive comparison logic 12 in fig. 2 as an END signal, so that the digital pre-adjustment process is terminated early, and at this time, the CODE value output by the successive comparison logic 12 is the final value.
The working process of the delay phase-locking system based on digital pre-adjustment provided by the invention is as follows:
1) firstly, when a system is started, firstly, a digital pre-conditioning module 1, a starting module 2 and a delay unit 5 are activated; the switch 7 is in a closed state, so that the starting voltage output by the starting module is clamped to VCTRL, and the general clamping voltage is one half of the power supply voltage; the VCTRL voltage and the initial CODE value (generally, the intermediate value, i.e., the highest bit is logic "1", and the other bits are logic "0") control the delay of the delay unit, so that the output of the delay unit is a signal CLKO having a certain phase difference with CLKIN; the CLKIN and CLKO signals are used as input to be accessed into a digital pre-adjusting module 1; the digital pre-adjusting module 1 adjusts and outputs CODE according to the phase difference; the system is in a digital preconditioning mode.
2) With reference to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the whole digital preconditioning mode will be described by taking a three-bit CODE as an example; three bits of CODE are given an initial value of 100, and three times of phase discrimination are needed to determine all CODE values; as shown in fig. 4, the first rising edge of CLKO leads the second rising edge of CLKIN at the first phase-check; when CLKIN rises for the third time, the output signal chain composed of the fourth flip-flop 104, the second delay unit 302, and the fifth flip-flop 105 in fig. 3 completes transmission, so that the STEP signal is logic "1" and the DATA signal is logic "0"; in fig. 2, after receiving the STEP signal "1", the successive comparison logic 12 determines that the CODE initial value "100" is higher according to the DATA value "0", modifies it to "010", and returns the RST pulse to reset the digital phase detector 11 to start the second phase detection; the first rising edge of CLKO lags the second rising edge of CLKIN during the second phase-identifying; at the third rising edge of CLKIN, the input signal chain composed of the second flip-flop 101, the first delay unit 301, and the third flip-flop 103 in fig. 3 completes transmission, so that the STEP signal is logic "1", and the DATA signal is logic "1"; in fig. 2, after receiving the STEP signal "1", the successive comparison logic 12 determines that the CODE value "010" is low according to the DATA value "1", modifies it to "011", and returns the RST pulse to reset the digital phase detector 11 to start phase detection for the third time; the first rising edge of CLKO leads the second rising edge of CLKIN during the third phase-identifying; when CLKIN rises for the third time, the output signal chain composed of the fourth flip-flop 104, the second delay unit 302, and the fifth flip-flop 105 in fig. 3 completes transmission, so that the STEP signal is logic "1" and the DATA signal is logic "0"; after receiving the STEP signal "1", the successive comparison logic 12 in fig. 2 determines that the CODE value "011" is higher according to the DATA value "0", and modifies it to "010", until all three-bit CODE CODEs are determined, and the digital pre-adjustment process is finished. Specifically, if the phase difference between CLKIN and CLKO is smaller than the delay time of the first delay unit 301 (or the second delay unit 302) in a certain phase detection, both the input signal chain and the output signal chain in the digital phase detector 11 are reset and cannot complete transmission; at the third rising edge of CLKIN, the STEP signal is still "0", and the phase discrimination continues; at the fourth rising edge of CLKIN, the digital phase detector 11 sends out an END signal of "1" through the internal quarter-frequency circuit 303 and the sixth flip-flop 106, thereby ending the digital preconditioning process early.
3) After the digital pre-adjusting process is finished, the system enters a classic delay phase-locked loop working mode; as shown in fig. 1, the digital pre-conditioning module 1 and the starting module 2 are closed, and the switch 7 is opened; the phase discriminator 3, the charge pump 4 and the delay unit 5 are activated; wherein the delay unit 5 has been given a specific CODE to be in an optimal operating state during digital preconditioning based on the frequency of the input signal and the manufacturing process of the circuit; the control voltage is given to the initial voltage held by the filter capacitor, typically one-half of the supply voltage; the delay unit 5 can output the CLKO signal having a phase difference close to one cycle from the CLKIN in this state; the phase detector 3 adjusts UP and DN signals through phase discrimination of the CLKIN and the CLKO and controls the charge pump 4; because the phase difference is already close to the target value, the charge pump 4 only needs a short time to adjust the voltage of VCTRL to the final value (very close to the initial voltage), so that the delay locked loop locks.
4) If the frequency of the input clock signal CLKIN needs to be changed, the delay locked loop circuit is reset, and the above steps are repeated.
The principles and embodiments of the present invention have been described herein using specific examples, which are provided only to help understand the method and the core concept of the present invention; meanwhile, for a person skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, the specific embodiments and the application range may be changed. In view of the above, the present disclosure should not be construed as limiting the invention.
