ABSTRACT:
A frequency converter converts a first current signal having a first frequency into a second current signal having a second frequency different from the first frequency. The frequency converter includes an adder and a switching circuit. The adder adds the first current signal and a reference current signal to output a third current signal. The switching circuit passes only that portion of the third current signal larger in magnitude than a threshold current to output the second current signal.
