Abstract

A clock generator has a reset circuit and (at least) two dividers, where each divider divides a reference clock signal by a divisor value to generate an output clock signal. The reset circuit generates reset signals for the dividers, where the reset signals are delayed relative to one another by a selected number of reference clock cycles, such that the dividers generate output clock signals having a desired phase offset between them.
