Abstract

See full text

A phase generation circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a ramp generation circuit arranged to generate a ramp signal in synchronization with a synchronization clock signal. A phase selection circuit generates a reference signal in response to a phase selection signal. A comparator has a first input terminal coupled to receive the ramp signal and a second input terminal coupled to receive the reference signal. The comparator produces a phase clock signal at an output terminal.
