Abstract:
A method and an improved apparatus for clock recovery from data streams containing embedded reference clock values controlled clock source means includes of a controllable digital fractional divider means receiving a control value from digital comparator means and a clock input from a digital clock synthesizer means driven by a fixed oscillator means.
Abstract:
An improved fractional divider that comprises an integer value storage means containing the integer part of the division value nullKnull connected to the input of a programmable counter means that is configured for a count value of nullKnull or nullKnull1null depending upon the state of a count control signal and generates the output signal as well a terminal count signal which is connected to an enable input of a fractional accumulator means that produces the count control signal on an addition overflow and has a first input connected to its result output and a second input connected to the output of a fractional value storage means, containing the fractional part of the divider value.
