Example of comparison of residence_ 歭 The embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a block diagram depicting an embodiment of the phase detector of the present invention, including: a phase difference detection circuit 11, a latch circuit 12 and a level transfer circuit 13. When comparing with the conventional phase detector of FIG. 5, it can be easily understood that a latch circuit 12 is further inserted between the phase difference detection circuit 11 and the level transfer circuit 13 of the embodiment of FIG. The signals 104 and 105 transmitted from the phase difference discriminating circuit 11 are latched at each falling edge of an output signal 103 of the DLL circuit, and they are respectively output as latch signals 1G6 and 107.

The 2A image is a block diagram depicting an example of a latch circuit 12, which includes flip-flops 14 and 15 is used to lock the multiples 104 and 105 at each falling edge of the output clock 103 to be output as latch signals 106 and 107, respectively. Figure 3 shows a timing diagram, depicting the signal between the signals of this embodiment. The operation of this embodiment will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1. to 3, omitting the repetitive description of the phase difference discriminating circuit 11 and the level shifting circuit 13 of the corresponding circuit similar to the conventional phase detector of FIG. -ΙΟ- This paper scale applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) A7 _B7_ 5. Description of the invention (9) Similar to the conventional phase detector shown in Figure 5, the output clock 103 of the DLL circuit At the high level, both are output from the phase difference discriminating circuit 11 at the multiples 104 and 10 5 of the high level. At each falling edge of the output clock 103, one of the signals 104 and 105 changes to L 〇w (low) level according to the phase difference between the input clock 101 and the output clock 103, while S-remains At Η IG Η (high) level. They are respectively latched by the flip-flops 14 and Lai to be output as the latch signals 106 and 107, and the flip-flops 14 and 15 are also controlled by each falling edge of the clock 103. Therefore, when the phase of the output clock 1D3 is delayed from the phase of the input clock 101, the latch signals 1Q6 and 107 that are output from the latch circuit 12 and supplied to the level transfer circuit 13 are stably maintained at HIGH { High level, Low level and Low level, and when the output pulse 103 leads the input clock pulse, they are all stable at Low level and HIGH level, such as Shown in Figure 3. Latch signals 106 and 107 that are stably maintained at the HIGH and Low levels, the level shifting road 13 can stably transfer the sustain control signals 108 and 109 to the power supply voltage Vd (i and The threshold voltage of the M0S transistor. Furthermore, even during the period when the phase difference discriminates the disabling of Hylu 11, that is, when the output clock 103 is at the HIGH level, there is no unnecessary current dissemination, and this current is It is caused by the control signals 108 and 109 hovering at an intermediate level in the conventional phase detector in the fifth circle.
