An N times frequency multiplication circuit uses duty cycle control buffers in combination with edge detectors to provide both multiplication and 50% duty cycle adjustment. Parallel branches of duty cycle control buffers are preset for respective duty cycles of 1/N, 2/N,...,N−1/N. The buffers each receive a common edge detected input signal and simultaneously output their respective duty cycle adjusted clock signals. A rising and falling edge detector generates a pulse train at double the frequency of the 1/N buffer output, while falling edge detectors generate time spaced pulse trains from the outputs of their respective 2/N,...,N−1/N buffers. These pulse trains are combined in an OR gate to provide an output pulse train at a frequency N times the input clock frequency fin. A final stage duty cycle control buffer adjusts the N times fin output signal to a 50% duty cycle.

A duty cycle control buffer uses an edge detector input stage to detect the transitions of an unpredictable clock signal input. The edge detector generates one shot output signals in synchronism with the clock signal. A pulse width controllable monostable multivibrator converts the one shot signals into rectangular pulses, at the same frequency as the original clock input. The rectangular pulses are inverted and then averaged, to provide a voltage input to one side of an operational amplifier. A reference voltage is supplied to the other side of the operational amplifier, such that the difference between the average voltage and the reference voltage generates an output control voltage from the operational amplifier. This control voltage provides negative feedback to a pulse width control stage within the monostable multivibrator, thereby adjusting the pulse width of the rectangular pulse output until a steady state is reached. A frequency divider circuit may be inserted in front of the edge detector to add a selective frequency dividing capability to the duty cycle control buffer.

A pulse-width control loop (PWCL) for clock with any pulse-width ratio within a wide range is provided. A differential programmable charge pump is employed to stabilize the current source by complementary connection. The differential programmable charge pump has a pair of differential charge pumps and a current source module to adjust the ratio of charge to discharge, so as to accelerate the range of the adjustable pulse-width ratio of the output clock and increase the output resolution. Further, a ratioless input control stage is employed to simplify the circuit design and avoid static power consumption. Moreover, the control stage adjusts rising pulse width and dropping pulse width at one period, thereby accelerating the lock speed and the range of the adjustable pulse-width ratio (i.e., duty cycle) of the input clock.
