ABSTRACT:
A clock multiplier controls the frequency of an output clock signal according to the frequency of an input clock signal by means of two feedback loops. The first feedback loop, active during a fixed number of initial cycles of the input clock signal, counts cycles of the output clock signal during each cycle of the input clock signal, and controls the output clock frequency according to the resulting count values. The second feedback loop, used after the fixed number of initial cycles, divides the frequency of the output clock signal, and controls the output clock frequency according to the phase difference between the resulting divided signal and the input clock signal.
