ABSTRACT:
A novel digital variable rate clock synthesizer is provided with a novel fractional-N digital phase locked loop. The all digital phase locked loop employs a digital input signal to a phase comparator which has a second input coupled to a digital control oscillator through a divide by N or a divide N+1 circuit. The digital output of the phase comparator is coupled to an error accumulating circuit which has a phase correction input signal from a fractional register and an associated accumulator. The output from the error accumulator is coupled to a pair of detectors for generating phase and frequency error detection signals which are digitally coupled to the control input of the digital control oscillator to provide a variable frequency output selected by the value of N and N+1.
