ABSTRACT:
A phase controller device according to the invention comprises a hardware core that is formed by a signal detector, a voltage-controlled oscillator, a phase comparator, and an integration unit, where the hardware core, by controlling the working clock pulse frequency of the microcontroller, brings an output clock pulse signal that is generated by a microcontroller into phase with the input clock pulse information that is received from the input data stream, and does so in such a manner that the jitter is low. The microcontroller executes a program with this working clock pulse, where with that program the microcontroller generates the output clock pulse signal with an output clock pulse frequency that is in a predetermined division ratio to the control clock pulse frequency that is generated by the voltage-controlled oscillator and is given to the microcontroller as a working clock pulse frequency. In this way the program enables the phase controller device according to the invention to process, with a microcontroller, external periodic signals, data, or events, where the software processes taking place in the microcontroller are always locked in phase with the periodic occurrence of these external signals, data, or events.
