Abstract

A frequency multiplier circuit and a controlling method thereof, which measures a period of a waveform by counting cycles of a fixed frequency timing signal, and reproduces the period by adding a number of prefixed length subperiods of the fixed frequency to the cycle count, making it as equal as possible to the period, so to minimize the reproduction error.
