Abstract

This paper proposes a new locking algorithm of the delay locked loop (DLL) which reduces the lock-acquisition time and eliminates false locking problem to enlarge the operating frequency range. The proposed DLL uses the modified phase frequency detector (MPFD) and the modified charge pump (MCP) to avoid the false locking problem. Adopting a new lock detector that measures delay between elects helps the fast lock-acquisition time greatly. The idea has been confirmed by HSPICE simulations in a 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process.
