ABSTRACT:
In a phase accumulation type signal generatorm when an adder of a phase accumulator yields a carry output, a difference circuit generates an analog voltage V.sub.1 =a.sub.2 (n-k.sub.s) which is in proportion to the difference between the output k.sub.s of the adder and a phase add amount n. A ramp function voltage generator generates a ramp function voltage V(t)=nfa.sub.1 a.sub.3 t/cm which is in proportion to the product of the frequency f/m of a clock and the phase add amount n. The analog voltage and the ramp function voltage are compared by a comparator, which outputs a synchronization pulse when they agree with each other.
