Abstract

See full text

Generally there is provided circuitry and a method for frequency multiplication of a first signal source including a first counter for counting pulses from a second signal of higher frequency by counting from a loaded value and generating a circuit output each time the first counter resets. A second counter is used to count cycles of the first counter and generate a feedback signal when a predetermined number of cycles have been completed (the system multiplication factor). Calibration is achieved by comparing the end of the period of the first signal to the occurrence of a feedback signal. In response the comparision circuit causes the loaded value to be changed to thereby control the output.
