Abstract

A relatively simplified sampling frequency converter for use in a format conversion apparatus is operative to convert sampled input data of an input sampling frequency into sampled output data of an output sampling frequency. The converter has an over-sampling circuit for increasing the sampling frequency of the sampled input data by a predetermined factor or coefficient to provide over-sampled data; an output data extractor for periodically extracting data from the over-sampled data in response to a timing pulse having the output sampling frequency; and a controller for controlling the phase of the timing pulse which controls the phase of the sampled output data.
