ABSTRACT:
A system and method for performing output clock phase smoothing. A phase smoothing circuit is described and includes a numerically-controlled oscillator (NCO) configured to produce a plurality of NCO clock pulses at a selectable frequency that is based on an input clock. Edges of the plurality of NCO clock pulses are aligned to edges of the input clock. A phase error calculation module is coupled to the NCO and is configured to generate a corresponding phase error for each of the plurality of NCO clock pulses. A clock phase selectable delay is coupled to the phase error calculation module and is configured to adjust each of the plurality of NCO clock pulses according to the corresponding phase error to generate an output clock at the selectable frequency that are phase-adjusted to more closely match an ideal output clock phase. Edges of the output clock need not necessarily align to the edges of the input clock.
