Abstract
A frequency multiplier system includes a first frequency multiplier circuit to generate a first signal having a first frequency. The first frequency multiplier circuit includes a first post-divider circuit to divide the first frequency of the first signal to a first output frequency within a bounded first range of frequencies, and a first programmable frequency transition controller to control a transitioning frequency relationship between the first signal having the first frequency and a target signal having a desired target frequency. The system includes a second frequency multiplier circuit to generate a second signal having a second frequency. The second frequency multiplier circuit includes a second post-divider circuit configured to divide the second frequency of the second signal to a second output frequency within a bounded second range of frequencies, and a second programmable frequency transition controller to control a transitioning frequency relationship between the second signal having the second frequency and the target signal having the desired target frequency. A multi-transition controller is coupled to both the first frequency multiplier circuit and the second fre…
