Abstract

A clock frequency multiplier design is provided. The clock frequency multiplier includes an input stage arranged to receive an input clock signal, a first clock cycle generator stage operatively connected to the input stage and arranged to generate a low pulse on a first signal dependent on a low phase of the input clock signal, a second clock cycle generator stage operatively connected to the input stage and arranged to generate a low pulse on a second signal dependent on a high phase of the input clock signal, and an output stage operatively connected to the first clock cycle generator stage and the second clock cycle generator stage and arranged to output a high pulse on an output clock signal for every low pulse on the first signal and the second signal.
