Abstract:
A waveform shaping circuit from which an input signal, the waveform of which is shaped to a waveform of a duty ratio of 50 % whether the input signal has a duty ratio of 50 % or not, is outputted. A duty ratio determining circuit adapted to receive a timing signal generated in a timing signal generating circuit, and determine and designate a timing position for a duty ratio of 50 % of a clock signal to be outputted is provided, which circuit is constituted by a cycle measuring circuit (10) for measuring the length of one cycle in a first cycle which comes at intervals of integral multiples of one cycle T of an input clock signal EXT-CK, an arithmetic circuit (19) adapted to calculate the length of a half cycle on the basis of a value of the above-mentioned cycle, an actual measuring circuit (20) adapted to execute the measurement of the length of a cycle in each of the second cycles in the above-mentioned intervals, and a coincidence circuit (28) adapted to output a coincidence output as a timing position of the duty ratio of 50 % when the actual measurement value coincides with the above-calculated value, a clock signal having a pulse width corresponding to the duty ratio of 50 % being generated on the basis of a signal synchronous with a leading edge of the input clock signal EXT-CK and the timing position determined and designated in the duty ratio determining circuit (3), the clock signal being then outputted.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for obtaining high frequency resolution of a low frequency data signal are provided. The invention comprises a low frequency select logic (27) for generating the data signal having low frequency resolution, low frequency state machine logic (29) for determining whether the data signal is resolved to predetermined high frequency resolution characteristics and circuitry for generating a correction signal to modify the data signal to high frequency resolution, and high frequency logic (17) for modifying the data signal in response to the low frequency correction signal. The high frequency logic (17) operates to selectively modify the path of low frequency data in response to the correction signal to modify the low frequency data signal to obtain high frequency resolution .
