Abstract

A clock signal generator produces an output clock signal having signal pulse timing adjustable with a resolution of P seconds. To produce a clock signal having an average frequency that is other than 1/k*P, where k is an integer, the clock signal generator occasionally adjusts the period between successive pulses of the clock signal.
