Abstract

A delay-locked loop (DLL) operation mode control circuit and corresponding method are provided in which one of the output values from a display driver IC (DDI) is detected to switch a DLL block to standby mode. In examples, a CLKP/N frequency and CLKP/N common terminal voltage status are used to switch mode. Accordingly, since inoperable frequency domains otherwise present in a normal mode interval of the DLL block is included into standby mode, more stable operation of the DLL circuit is provided.
