A new delay-locked loop (DLL)-based multiphase generator is presented. To achieve an arbitrary integer multiplication factor, a voltage-controlled variable delay ring (VCDR) is adopted, and a new “generate and reset” (GNR) cell is developed. The whole circuit of the closed loop was designed and characterized in a 1.2-V 0.13-µm CMOS process. The simulated results show that the loop operates from 1.0MHz to 1.2GHz under the supply voltage of 1.2V, and the GNR cell exhibits low supply sensitivity of 1300-ps/V.
