Abstract:
In an embodiment, a clock generator has a variable-modulus frequency divider that receives a high-frequency clock signal and outputs a divided clock signal having a frequency controlled by a modulus-control signal generated by a temperature-compensation circuit. A jitter filter is coupled to the output of the variable-modulus frequency divider and to the temperature-compensation circuit and generates a compensated clock signal having switching edges that are delayed, with respect to the divided clock signal, by a time correlated to a quantization-error signal.
