Abstract
A DLL circuit is disclosed. The DLL circuit includes a delay line, configured to receive a delay line input clock, and to generate a plurality of output clocks each having a phase based on a delay of the delay line. The DLL circuit also includes a control circuit, configured to selectively cause the delay line input clock to be equal to one of a DLL input clock and an inverted one of the output clocks of the delay line, and an edge combiner, configured to generate a DLL output clock based on the output clocks of the delay line.
