Abstract

A clock generator includes input circuitry for receiving an input signal and generating a memory address therefrom. A memory stores digital data indexed by the memory address which represents at least a portion of an analog clock. A digital to analog converter converts data retrieved from the memory to generate the analog clock which is then filtered by a filter and then converted into digital output clock.
