Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a generator for providing a clock signal from a reference signal. The generator, which is of the phase-locked loop type, includes a frequency divider and a phase comparator connected together. A reset circuit is connected to the frequency divider and to the phase comparator for providing a reset signal thereto at each leading edge of the reference signal for synchronizing a low-frequency signal with the reference signal.
