Abstract

An on-chip clock signal generator circuit is disclosed. The clock signal generator generates a high frequency clock signal in response to a system clock developed from a source located at a point external to the chip. The clock generator circuit includes an apparatus for stabilizing the frequency of the clock signal generated by the clock signal generator, this apparatus stabilizing the frequency of the clock signal by minimizing the variation in the position of the intermediate pulses which comprise the clock signal.
