Abstract:
An interface device for synchronizing an internally clocked modem and data terminal equipment (DTE) provided with their own clock circuits, each of said own terminal clock circuit providing an external clock signal (RC Ext). The interface includes a PLO generating a recovered clock signal (XCO). At a moment defined by a request to send signal the phases of XCO and RC Ext are compared with each other and a switched clock signal SWC oscillating at a fast rate for a time interval corresponding to the phase delay between RC Ext and XCO and subsequently oscillating at a slow rate, is generated. The signal SWC is used for shifting RC Ext and terminal provided data RD Ext into shift registers respectively. The shifted RC Ext is used for controlling the adjustment of the interface PLO.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a digital phase locked loop circuit, particularly to a circuit which realizes accurately digital phase locked loop pull-in operation at a high speed with a simplified circuit structure.In the present invention, in order to obtain a phase difference between a single frequency signal and the digital phase locked loop clock signal which is obtained by dividing a specified frequency signal with a dividing counter, the phase difference is obtained in accordance with the signs, absolute values and amplitude ratio of two adjacent sample values. The sample values of said single frequency signal are taken at two points based on said digital phase locked loop clock signal corresponding to a phase difference of .pi./2 radians of said single frequency signal. A fast pull-in of the digital phase locked loop is realized by setting a value corresponding to the obtained phase difference into a dividing counter.
Abstract:
In a system having a frequency encoded data stream and a source of clock signals phase locked to the data stream, for subsequent demodulation of the data stream, the clock source is at a frequency that is a multiple of the nominal frequency for demodulating, and a counter is employed to divide the clock. The counter is controlled by the output of a phase comparator, to control the addition to and inhibiting of counting of the counter. The control circuit controls the counter in a non-linear relationship with respect to the phase error, and has a memory function for storing previous states of the counter, to permit repetitive correction for small errors in the same manner. The phase comparator and control are preferably a programmed logic array.
Abstract:
A digital timing recovery circuit is disclosed for synchronously transmitting digitally encoded data in a multiterminal configuration between a data processor and a plurality of data terminals associated therewith. Phase shifted synchronous data from the data processor is continuously compared with a newly generated synchronous clock generated at a repeater interposed along the communication line for minimization of the time differential between the retiming clock and the transmitted data. The data transitions enable a digitally implemented one-shot, which generates pulses, the leading edges of which pulses enable a difference counter, while the leading edges of the retiming clock pulses disable the counter. The difference counter output is sampled in a digital phase locked loop to derive the number of cycles of a stable oscillator which occur between the two aforementioned leading edges of the generated pulses. A difference of less than a predetermined count such as two, results in no correction of the retiming clock, a difference count greater than such predetermined amount, such as a count of three through seven, advances the clock by adding a pulse to the retiming clock, and a difference of more than a predetermined number of counts, such as eight, retards the clock by subtracting a pulse from the retiming clock. Thus, continuous digital adjustment of the synchronous clock is provided to maintain the counter difference below a predetermined count, such as two, which serves to resynchronize bit-shifted data with the retiming clock for retransmission into the communications channel.
Abstract:
A phase processing system which includes at least one digital phase-locked loop wherein the phase of the input signal to the loop is compared with the phase of the loop output signal to produce a pulse-width modulated phase error signal. The error signal is digitally integrated, as by a counting means which cyclically counts the pulse widths thereof and provides a first control signal when the count reaches a first value and a second control signal when the count reaches a second value. The control signals are used to control the pulse rate of a clock signal to produce an intermediate clock signal such that when the first control signal is present a pulse is added thereto and when the second control signal is present a pulse is deleted therefrom. The intermediate clock signal is then fed to a feedback divider counting means which provides the loop output signal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for adjusting the phase state of a timing signal. A divider signal is conducted via a first input of a frequency alteration stage to a frequency divider from the output of which the timing signal is emitted. A binary signal is also provided which for example can be employed to transmit data in the frame of a bit pattern from a transmitting station to a receiving station, the receiving station being synchronized using the timing signal. In dependence upon the phase states of the timing signal and the binary signal, as applied to a discriminator, a discriminator signal is obtained and is conducted to a second input of the frequency alteration stage. Also a third input of the frequency alteration stage is supplied with a signal which indicates whether and how many pulse edges of the divider signal are to be suppressed or pulse edges are to be added to the divider signal.
Abstract:
A digital signal synchronizing system wherein a locally generated timing signal is compared with received binary data. If the timing signal lags the bit rate of the binary data, pulses are added to the timing signal and if the timing signal leads the binary data, pulses are deleted from the timing signal. Means are provided for controlling the bandwidth of the system and the system, in addition, has a phase versus frequency response which is substantially constant over the range of operating frequencies.
