ABSTRACT:
A multi-branch frequency translation system converts a plurality of independent input clocks to a common frequency. One of the converted clock signals is selected as a dominant clock. The remaining converted clock signals are edge-synchronized with the dominant clock. When the system selects another converted clock signal for use as the dominant clock, the newly selected signal already is edge-synchronized with the dominant clock and, therefore, switchover losses can be avoided. The dominant clock can be subject of further frequency translation processes and output from the system.
