A low cost high performance register-controlled digital delay-locked loop (DLL) that has novel resolution-enhancing structure with inherent duty cycle correction capability was developed for 1 Gbps×32 DDR SDRAM. Experimental results in a 0.13 μm 4 M×32 DDR SDRAM show <25 ps peak-to-peak jitter with quiet supply, <±2% duty correction from external duty error of ±7%, <150 cycle lock-time, 24 mW at 1.8 V/400 MHz, 60 mW at 2.5 V/500 MHz, and a wide locking range from 66 MHz to over 500 MHz.
