Abstract

A device for synchronizing a reference event of an analog signal, which includes an analog-to-digital converter receiving an input signal, a register receiving the converter output, a phase-locked loop including an oscillator generating several phase-shifted clock signals of same period, a first clock signal clocking the register, a multiplexer receiving the other clock signals on respective inputs, the output of which clocks said converter, and an analysis circuit connected to control the multiplexer according to successive values of the register output.
