Device for the regeneration of a clock signal
Abstract:
A device for the regeneration of a clock signal from an external serial bus includes a ring oscillator and counter. The ring oscillator provides n phases of a clock signal. Of these n phases, one phase is used as a reference and is applied to the counter. It is thus possible to count the number of entire reference clock signal periods between a first pulse and a second pulse received from the bus. In reading the state of the phases in the oscillator upon reception of the second pulse, a determination is made for a current phase corresponding to the phase delay between the reference clock signal and the second pulse of the bus. By using a regeneration device that also includes a ring oscillator and a counter, it is possible to regenerate the clock signal of the bus with high precision.
