Abstract

A method and apparatus for reducing the amount of jitter in a signal are disclosed. In one embodiment a feed-forward loop compares the edges of a reference clock and an input signal, converts a time difference of the compared edges into a voltage signal, and controls a time delay in a voltage controlled delay line in order to reduce or eliminate jitter.
