摘要: A clock generator includes a clock circuit and a voltage-controlled oscillator in a phase-locked loop. The clock circuit monitors input clock signals and selects one of the input clock signals based on characteristics of the input clock signals. The voltage-controlled oscillator generates a reference clock signal based on the selected clock signal. The clock circuit also includes synthesizers for generating clock signals, each of which has a frequency being a non-integer multiple of a frequency of the reference clock signal. Additionally, the clock circuit individually offsets the clock signals generated by the synthesizers relative to the reference clock signal. The clock generator is capable of switching the input clock signal during operation of the clock generator while maintaining the reference clock signal. Further, the clock generator is programmable to control operation of the clock circuit.

摘要: Generation of multiple clocks having a synchronized phase relationship may reduce the size, complexity, power consumption, jitter and cost of circuitry while improving its functionality, performance, reliability and fault coverage. A multiple frequency clock generator may comprise an independent digital control oscillator (DCO) for generating a first clock and dependent DCOs for generating additional clocks that align at a common multiple frequency with the first clock with or without adjustment thereof. The independent and dependent DCOs may generate the first and additional clocks from a delay lock loop (DLL) by selecting a sequence of tap select signals. Tap select signals may be adjusted to maintain a desired phase and/or frequency of the first and additional clocks. Dependent DCOs may generate sequences of tap select signals based on the sequence of tap select signals generated by the independent DCO to incorporate adjustments, e.g., PLL error corrections.
