This paper describes an all-digital DLL (Delay Locked Loop) circuit with a high phase resolution. The proposed architecture is based on three-stage phase tuning blocks for coarse, fine and ultra fine phase control. Each block has a phase detector, a phase selection block and a delay line, respectively. It was simulated in a 0.35 µm CMOS technology under 3.3 V power supply. The simulation result shows the maximum phase error can be reduced to 13-42 ps with the operating range of 250 MHz to 800 MHz.
