An infinite phase capture range can be achieved. The current interpolation is used to eliminate the drawbacks of quadrature phase mixing. The results of simulation show that this semi-digital DLL architecture exhibits 7 picosecond resolution and high linearity at 1.25GHz.","PeriodicalId":416565,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference (INEC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127728029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
