Abstract

This paper presents an all-digital delay-locked loop (ADDLL) with wide operating range for double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR SDRAM) application. To avoid the quadrature phase error caused by harmonic lock, the proposed auto-calibrated edge detector (ACED) utilizes novel harmonic lock detection technique and auto-calibration technique to extend the operating range. To verify, the proposed circuit was fabricated using 90-nm standard CMOS process with a 1-V supply voltage. The core area is 0.089 mm2. The measurement result shows the operating range of proposed ADDLL is from 0.1 to 2.7 GHz with peak-to-peak period jitter less than 5 ps. The quadrature output duty-cycle error is less than 1.9%.
