A system for transmitting and receiving a signal includes a transmitter that switches a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage and generates first and second voltage signals, and a receiver the receives the first and second voltage signals. The transmitter includes a reference voltage generator that generates the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage, and a switch block that switches the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage and outputs the first and second voltage signals. The receiver includes a resistor having two terminals to which the first and second voltage signals are applied.

System and method for transmitting and receiving signals

A delay-locked loop circuit includes a voltage-controlled delay line configured to generate a plurality of delayed clock signals based on an input clock signal, a lock signal and a voltage control signal, the plurality of delayed clock signals being sequentially delayed from one another to produce an earliest delayed clock signal to a latest delayed clock signal, the voltage-controlled delay line including an anti-jitter delay circuit and a plurality of delay circuits, the anti-jitter delay circuit configured to output the earliest delayed clock signal, and the plurality of delay circuits coupled in series and configured to output a remainder of the plurality of delayed clock signals, a phase frequency detection circuit configured to generate an up signal and a down signal based on the earliest delayed clock signal and the latest delayed clock signal, a filter configured to generate the voltage control signal in response to the up signal and the down signal, and a lock detection circuit configured to generate the lock signal in response to the up signal and the down signal.
