Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for generating an accurate clock generator timing source, comprising minimal jitter, excellent resolution, and an extended calibration range, for use, for example, in a system requiring accurate low power operation. In particular, a clock generation system is adapted to receive a generated clock input, a reference clock input, and an adjustment parameter comprising a sign bit and p data bits. The calibration logic system is further adapted to output and modify a calibrated clock, using distributed pulse modification. The adjustment parameter may be automatically generated.
