Abstract

See full text

A memory (20) includes a write control delay locked loop (52) for controlling a write cycle of the memory (20). The delay locked loop (52) includes an arbiter circuit (264), a voltage controlled delay (VCD) circuit (260), and a VCD control circuit (265). The arbiter circuit (264) compares a clock signal to a delayed clock signal from the VCD circuit (260). In response, the arbiter circuit (264) provides a retard signal to the VCD control circuit (265). The VCD control circuit (265) receives the retard signal and adjusts a propagation delay of the delayed clock signal to compensate for changes in the clock frequency, as well as to compensate for process, temperature, and power supply variations.
