Abstract
A digital delay lock loop (DLL) circuit for receiving parallel data and clock signals, deserializing the high speed parallel data to low speed data, and for improving setup and hold times. A DLL circuit for an N-bit datapath, includes a clock DLL configured to provide a clock signal pulse within an eye opening of each of N data signals. The DLL circuit further includes N data DLLs, each being configured to adjust a delay of a data signal to substantially center the eye opening of the data signal on the clock signal pulse.
