ABSTRACT:
A frequency multiplier has a delay circuit consisting of delay units each having a delay time and being connected in series to sequentially delay an input clock signal, a pulse width detector for measuring and storing the width of a pulse of the input clock signal according to the outputs of the delay units, a first selector for selecting one of the outputs of the delay units according to the output of the pulse width detector, a second selector for selecting one of the inverted outputs of the delay units according to the output of the pulse width detector, and first and second output flip-flops. The first and second output flip-flops are reset according to the outputs of the first and second selectors and are set in response to rising and falling edges of the input clock signal, to generate a frequency-multiplied clock signal.
