Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for and method of reducing transistor body effect when detecting and correcting a phase error between clock signals using delay-locked and phase-locked loop circuits. The clock signals are provided to an equal number of circuit elements in cross-coupled XOR circuits. The circuit includes a transconductance circuit having at least two PMOS transistors with their substrates directly connected to their sources.
