Abstract

A bang-bang phase detector circuit for use in a delay lock loop is disclosed. The phase detector includes a data signal line, a clock signal line, and a delay cell having an input coupled to the data signal line. The phase detector further includes a first double flip-flop having a data input coupled to the data signal line and a clock input coupled to the clock signal line, and a second double flip-flop having a data input coupled to an output of the delay cell and a clock input coupled to the clock signal line. A NOR circuit has a first input coupled to an output of the first double flip-flop and a second input coupled to an output of the second double flip-flop. The phase detector provides a lag output signal line coupled to an output of the NOR circuit, and a lead output signal line coupled to the output of the second double flip-flop.
