Abstract

A system for determining a data converter operating mode includes measurement circuitry operable to measure a master clock frequency of a master clock signal, the master clock frequency measurement biased by a past operating mode selection, and operable to measure a frequency ratio between a frequency of a data clock signal and the master clock frequency. A mapping system maps the measurements of the master clock frequency and the frequency ratio to an operating mode of the data converter. In an additional embodiment, the measurement circuitry biases the master clock frequency measurement based on a past master clock frequency measurement.
