Abstract

A circuit comprising a first counter, a second counter, a third counter and a decoder, where the decoder may be configured to present a locked output signal. The first counter may present a first output signal in response to a start of frame signal and one or more control signals. The second counter may be configured to present a second output signal in response to the start of frame signal and the first output signal. The third counter may present a tracking control signal to the first counter in response to one or more of the control signals.
