Abstract

See full text

A delay lock loop and a phase locking method thereof are provided. The delay lock loop includes a first divider, a delay line, a frequency multiplier, a second divider, a phase detection and controlling circuit and a setting signal generator. The first divider generates a divided reference clock signal. The second divider generates a first feedback clock signal and a second feedback clock signal which are complementary by dividing an output clock signal, and generates a selected feedback clock signal by selecting the first or second feedback clock signal according to a setting signal. The phase detection and controlling circuit compares phases of the selected feedback clock signal and the divided reference clock signal to generate a delay control signal. The setting signal generator samples the divided reference clock signal by the first feedback clock signal to generate the setting signal.
