ABSTRACT:
Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for a delay locked loop. A delay locked loop may comprise a delay line configured to receive a reference clock signal and output a delayed clock signal. The delay locked loop may also comprise a feedback loop including a frequency divider operably coupled to the delayed clock signal and configured to generate a frequency divided clock signal. Furthermore, the delay locked loop may include a phase detector configured to receive the reference clock signal and the frequency divided clock signal having a frequency less than that of the reference clock signal. Additionally, the phase detector may be configured to measure a phase difference of the reference clock signal and the frequency divided clock signal upon receipt of an active edge of the frequency divided clock signal.
