    • The present invention provides a delay-locked loop (DLL). The DLL comprises a phase-frequency detector (PFD) for receiving a reference signal. The DLL further includes a charge pump which is coupled to the PFD. The DLL also includes a loop filter which is coupled to the charge pump and the PFD. Additionally in the DLL, delay line means is coupled to the charge pump and the loop filter. The delay line means provides a feedback signal to the PFD. The DLL further includes monitor means coupled to the PFD, the charge pump and the loop filter. The monitor means is for detecting when a voltage across the loop filter is at a predetermined level, wherein when the voltage is at the predetermined level the monitor means causes the PFD to enter a pump-down mode until the feedback signal is aligned with the reference signal. An advantage of the present invention is that DLL loop tracking failures based upon a stuck condition are reliably avoided. Specifically, the DLL in accordance with the present invention can reliably recover from the stuck condition in which the adjustable delay is at its lower limit and the PFD asserts the UP control signal. Additionally, the DLL is cost effective and is easily implemented utilizing existing processes.

    • The present invention discloses a lock indicator circuit used to indicate a phase lock condition between logic signals. The lock indicator circuit uses a phase detector that generates a pulse width proportional to the phase difference between a reference signal and a feedback signal. Another circuit generates, on each positive edge of the reference and the feedback signals, pulses whose widths are primarily dependent on fixed delay elements. These fixed pulse determine a window in which the pulse from the phase detector will fall as the two signals approach phase lock. Phase lock is signaled by the logic AND of the window pulse and the phase detector pulse. Other circuitry generates a phase lock indication signal if the phase lock signal remains true for a number of consecutive transitions of the reference signal. Likewise a phase unlock indication signal is generated if after phase lock indication, phase unlock occurs and remains for a number of consecutive transitions of the reference signal.
    • 本发明公开了一种用于指示逻辑信号之间的锁相状态的锁定指示器电路。 锁定指示器电路使用产生与参考信号和反馈信号之间的相位差成比例的脉冲宽度的相位检测器。 另一个电路在参考的每个正边沿和反馈信号上产生其宽度主要取决于固定延迟元件的脉冲。 这些固定脉冲决定了一个窗口,其中来自相位检测器的脉冲将随着两个信号接近相位锁定而下降。 相位锁定由窗口脉冲和相位检测器脉冲的逻辑“和”发出信号。 如果参考信号的多次连续转换的锁相信号保持为真,则其它电路产生锁相指示信号。 同样地,如果在相位锁定指示,相位解锁发生之后产生相位解锁指示信号,并且在参考信号的多个连续转换中保持相位解锁指示信号。
