A Fast Lock All-Digital MDLL Using a Cyclic Vernier TDC for Burst-Mode Links

An all-digital multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL)-based clock multiplier featuring a time-to-digital converter (TDC) to achieve fast power-on capability is presented. The proposed MDLL adopts a new offset-free cyclic Vernier TDC to achieve a fast lock time of 15 reference clock cycles while mainta...
