Abstract

A master-slave delay locked loop system comprises a master delay locked loop (“MDLL”) and at least one slave delay locked loop (“SDLL”). The MDLL generates one or more biases. Each of the at least one SDLL has a slave calibration unit and slave delay elements. The slave calibration unit calibrates the slave delay elements using a slave calibration loop and the generated one or more bias. Thus, each of the SDLL is calibrated to account for any electrical noise, pressure, voltage, and temperature variations that the respective SDLL experiences.
