CORRECTING FOR OFFSET-ERRORS IN A PLL/DLL

The main feedback loop of a PLL/DLL receives a reference clock and an output clock as inputs, and operates to achieve one or both of a phase and a frequency lock of the output clock with respect to the reference clock. The PLL/DLL includes an RS-latch connected to receive the output clock and the re...

Zusammenfassung:The main feedback loop of a PLL/DLL receives a reference clock and an output clock as inputs, and operates to achieve one or both of a phase and a frequency lock of the output clock with respect to the reference clock. The PLL/DLL includes an RS-latch connected to receive the output clock and the reference clock. The RS-Latch generates a digital output representing a phase difference between the reference clock and the output clock. A correction block in the PLL/DLL receives the digital output and adjusts an electrical characteristic of the main feedback loop by a value that is based on a polarity of the digital output. Effects of offset-errors in the PLL/DLL are thereby minimized or corrected for.
