DELAY LOCKED LOOP FOR TIMING RECOVERY AND WRITE PRECOMPENSATION FOR A READ CHANNEL OF A MASS DATA STORAGE DEVICE, OR THE LIKE

An integrated delay locked loop circuit ( 10 ) and method are presented. The circuit ( 10′ ) includes a source of multiple clock signals ( 24 ), each of different relative phase. A plurality of clock selection multiplexers ( 30 - 33 ) are connected to receive the multiple clock signals ( 16 ). A con...

Summary:An integrated delay locked loop circuit ( 10 ) and method are presented. The circuit ( 10′ ) includes a source of multiple clock signals ( 24 ), each of different relative phase. A plurality of clock selection multiplexers ( 30 - 33 ) are connected to receive the multiple clock signals ( 16 ). A control circuit ( 66 ) is connected to control each of the plurality of clock selection multiplexers ( 30 - 33 ) to pass a respective selected one of the multiple clock signals ( 16 ) to a clock selection output ( 43 - 46 ). If one of the clock selection multiplexers ( 30 - 33 ) is selected to pass a particular one of the clock signals ( 16 ) to its clock selection output ( 43 - 46 ), the other clock selection multiplexers are prevented from passing the particular one of the clock signals to their respective clock selection outputs. A plurality of output multiplexers ( 60 - 63 ) are connected to receive outputs from he clock selection multiplexers ( 30 - 33 ). Each of the output multiplexers ( 60 - 63 ) is controlled by the control circuit ( 66 ) to select which of the clock selection multiplexer outputs ( 43 - 46 ) is passed to its output.
