ABSTRACT:
The frequency of a signal is classified in at least two nonoverlapping frequency ranges using the variable frequency of a clock signal as a reference. The clock signal is applied to the count input of a first up counter, and the signal to the reset input of this up counter and to the enable input of a first buffer. The parallel inputs of the first buffer are connected to the count outputs of the up counter, and the parallel outputs of this buffer are coupled to the parallel inputs of a multiple comparator in which each nonoverlapping frequency range is assigned a digital output. Each of these digital outputs is connected to the D input of a D flip-flop, which is clocked by the signal, and to one of the two inputs of an EXOR gate having its other input connected to the Q output of the associated flip-flop. The signal is also fed to the count input of a second up counter whose reset input is connected to the output of an OR gate having each of its inputs connected to the output of one of the EXOR gates, and the count outputs of the second up counter are each coupled to one of the inputs of an AND gate. The output of the latter is connected to the enable input of a second buffer whose inputs are each connected to the Q output of one of the D flip-flops and whose outputs are the frequency-range outputs.
