ABSTRACT:
A voltage controlled delay line (VCDL). The VCDL includes one or more cells. Each of the one or more cells includes two or more inputs and an output. Each of the one or more cells is configured to provide a delay as well as an interpolation function and a multiplexer function. The VCDL may be used to provide delay in a delay locked loop (DLL).
