Definitions
- the present invention relates to a phase synchronization circuit.
- the phase synchronization circuit is used in a semiconductor integrated circuit, a circuit module, and a system that operate using a clock or a strobe.
- a semiconductor chip In general, in order to accurately exchange signals with an external device, a semiconductor chip needs to synchronize signals inside and outside the chip. In such synchronization, the transition time of the semiconductor chip is accurately input so as to maintain a constant timing relationship with the transition time of the clock (or strobe, which is not distinguished in this application). It is common practice to generate a controlled internal clock and use this chip internal clock for signal acquisition. The following conventional techniques exist for such a phase locked loop.
- Non-Patent Document 1 two delay sequences (FDA, BDA) are arranged in parallel in opposite directions, and a control circuit MCC is arranged in parallel in two delay sequences between them.
- a load circuit that has the same delay time as the clock driver connected to the output is designed as a dummy and connected to the input of the delay string FDA.
- This circuit detects the position where the phase is synchronized in the delay train FDA from the delay train FDA and the control circuit MCC, and inputs the same position force clock of the delay train BDA to transmit the clock in the opposite direction to the delay train FDA.
- Patent Document 1 has a ring-type coarse delayer that roughly adjusts the phase and a fine delayer that finely adjusts the phase, and adopts a ring-type and hierarchical structure so that the entire circuit is achieved. The area and number of gates are reduced. The amount of delay is determined by sequentially comparing the phase of the external clock and the feedback clock using a single phase detector. This is determined by giving to the fine delay and the coarse delay.
- Non-Patent Document 1 IEEE Journal of Solid-state Circuits, Vol. 31, No. 11, November 1996, ppl656- 1668
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-69424
- the phase synchronization circuit can shorten the time required for the internal clock to synchronize the phase with the external clock.
- the phase synchronization circuit shown in Non-Patent Document 1 has a problem that the circuit scale increases as the frequency range is expanded. In other words, in order to satisfy the phase matching accuracy required when the operating frequency is the highest, the delay time of one delay stage in the delay train must be shortened. Therefore, in order to synchronize a low-frequency clock using the delay stage having the delay time determined in this way, the number of delay stages must be increased. Therefore, there was a problem that the number of elements and gates would increase.
- phase-locked loop circuit that can be used is desired. In other words, it is desirable to achieve both the phase matching accuracy of the phase-locked loop and the frequency range, and to suppress the increase in circuit scale as much as possible.
- Patent Document 1 was found in a patent search conducted after the completion of the present invention.
- the 1S ring type delay train is used, and this is in common with the present invention.
- the DLL disclosed in Patent Document 1 uses a ring-type delay train only for the delay train for coarse adjustment.
- one phase detector sequentially performs phase comparison for each step of the fine delay, there is a possibility that the time until phase synchronization may be lengthened, and the time required for synchronization is considered! Nah ...
- phase synchronization circuit that can achieve a wide frequency range and complete phase synchronization in a short time is desired.
- the phase synchronization circuit of the present invention includes a first delay string, a first selector that selectively inputs one of the outputs of the first reference clock and the first delay string to the first delay string, Select multiple phase comparators that compare the phase of each delay stage included in one delay train with the second reference clock, the second delay train, and either the external clock or the output of the second delay train A second selector for inputting to the second delay string and an output control circuit for selectively outputting the output from each delay stage of the second delay string as an internal clock.
- the number of laps and the number of delay stages of the first delay string required for the delayed signal from the first delay string of the first reference clock to synchronize with the second reference clock are grasped, and the external clock corresponding to the grasped number of laps and the number of delay stages is obtained.
- the delay signal of the second delay train is output as the internal clock.
- the phase locked loop circuit includes a first delay string, a first selector that selectively inputs one of the first reference clock and the output of the first delay string to the first delay string, A phase comparator that performs phase comparison between the delayed signal of the first delay sequence of the first reference clock and the second reference clock; a delay control circuit that controls a delay amount of the delayed signal input to the phase comparator; and a second delay A second selector that selectively inputs either the external clock or the output of the second delay string to the second delay string, and the output output from each delay stage of the second delay string as the internal clock.
- an output control circuit that selectively outputs the first delay train and a delay signal generated by the first delay train of the first reference clock to synchronize with the second reference clock.
- the delay signal generated by the second delay train of the external clock is output as the internal clock, and the delay control circuit variably controls the delay amount of the delay signal input to the phase comparator.
- first selector and the second selector, the first delay string and the second delay string have their delay times. It is preferable that the circuit configuration and layout be the same so that they are the same. If the same reference clock is given as the first reference clock and the second reference clock, the external clock and the internal clock are synchronized with a time difference of one cycle.
- the number of cycles until synchronization can be shortened. Therefore, when the synchronization circuit is not used, it is possible to reduce the power when not operating by stopping the clock input itself. At that time, if the power supply of the synchronous circuit itself is also turned off, it is possible to reduce the power consumption during the system standby by preventing the leakage current.
- a phase synchronization circuit capable of synchronizing at high speed with a small number of elements and gates can be realized.

- the pulse generation circuit PGC changes the duty ratio between the “0” state and the “1” state of the external clock ECLK. Typically, when the external clock ECLK has a duty of 50%, it is changed to a duty ratio smaller than this duty ratio (for example, 10%, or a fixed time width instead of the ratio).
- the time of the “1” state originally possessed by the external clock ECLK can be changed to be shorter.
- the signal circulates through the second delay circulation block 112 it is possible to generate a pulse that is sufficiently shorter than the time required for one rotation.
- the clock signal with the duty ratio reduced in this way is restored to the original ratio by the clock restoration circuit CRC. Furthermore, a fixed delay occurs due to the addition of the pulse generation circuit PGC and the clock recovery circuit CRC in the path from the external clock ECLK to the internal clock ICLK. Therefore, the amount of delay generated by the first delay circuit block 101 Compared to the case where no additional circuit is added, the number may be reduced. Therefore, the dummy delay circuit DDC is added in order to measure the correct target number of rotations and the target stage number by subtracting the fixed delay amount accompanying the additional circuit in consideration of this.
