Update on DLL and slow control design Joan MauricioLa Salle (URL)19/12/2012 09/02/2012 1
Requirements • 1 ns resolution. • DNL < 100 ps. • 3 independent adjustable phases: • ICECAL Integrator clock. • ICECAL T&H clock. • ADC clock. • Radiation tolerant design. Policies: ≥ 5 um between NMOS diffusion and N-Well. • Guard rings between PMOS and NMOS transistors. Slow control: • SPI. • Triple voting registers. 19/12/2012 2
VCDL Design – Basic Delay Element • Starved Inverter. • vControl is servo controlled by the Phase Comparator. • coarse is tuned externally: • Process compensation. • Duty Cycle adjust. 19/12/2012 3
VCDL Design – 1ns Delay Element ~ 330/500ps • Weak inverters ensures 180º phase between differential paths. • Output inverters isolate Delay Element from MUXs: P+ ring NMOS P+ ring N+ ring PMOS N+ ring PMOS N+ ring P+ ring NMOS 4 P+ ring
VCDL Design – 25ns Delay Line • 250 Monte Carlo simulations (Process+Mismatch): • Misamtch does not affect significantly. • DLL can be adjusted to 25 ns despite Process Variations. 5
25:1 Multiplexor and Output Buffer ~ 1100ps ~ 1500ps ~ 1500ps ~ 400ps ~ 330 / 500ps outEn • Used to choose the desired output from the VCDL. • Multiplexing is done in two steps (groups of 5). • Output Buffer reduces rise/fall time. 19/12/2012 6

Phase Comparator • Phase is detected by means of an XOR gate. • Flip-Flop detects phase sign. • Charge/discharge signals are generated phase and sign. 19/12/2012 8
