Abstract

See full text

A delay locked loop (44) includes an arbiter circuit (86), a VCD circuit (85), and a collapse detector (88). The arbiter circuit (86) receives an input signal and provides a retard signal to adjust the amount of propagation delay of VCD circuit (85), in order to synchronize the phases of the input signal to an output signal of the VCD circuit (85). The collapse detector (88) detects if the output signal of the VCD circuit (85) has failed to change logic states within a predetermined length of time. The delay locked loop (44) can lock the phases of two signals having different frequencies.
