Abstract

A 7.7mW/1.0ns/1.35V digital delay locked loop has been proposed in this paper. The dual-DLL architecture with racing operation is adopted to achieve low power operation and low jitter, which is primarily caused by the length of the delay line. The merged dual coarse delay line (MDCDL) is employed for low power and high frequency operation. This DLL utilizes an OR-AND DCC for wide duty cycle correction capability. The proposed DLL for DDR3 SDRAM is fabricated by a 54nm DRAM process technology. Experimental results show that ±10% duty error of external clock can be corrected in less than 400 cycles locking time with 1.0GHz operation frequency at 1.35V.
