Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a signal generator for generating a signal with a predetermined frequency. The signal generator includes a first comparator for generating a first error signal and a second comparator for generating a second error signal. The first and second comparators are coupled to an oscillator configured to receive the first and second error signals and generate the signal having a predetermined frequency. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a signal generator for generating a signal with a predetermined frequency. The signal generator includes a counter for generating a first count, Q_last. The counter is coupled to a ratio counter which generates a signal having a value less than or equal to Q_last. The contents of the ratio counter represent the phase of the signal having a predetermined frequency. The ratio counter outputs the signal having a predetermined frequency.
