Delay-Locked loops (DLLs) can be considered as feedback circuits that phase lock an output to an input without the use of an oscillator. In some applications, DLLs are neces- to adjust the delay and force DT. toward zero. This conjecture leads us to the arrangement depicted in Fig u r e 2(c).

phase noise of a delay line, S z,DL, and that of a ring oscillator using such a line, S z,ring, are related as follows: Sf S , f f,,ring 0 2 zz = DL cm rD (5) where f 0 is the oscillation frequency (Figure 6). We conclude that the ring produces much higher phase noise. One interpretation of this result is that, in a ring, an edge continues
