Abstract

A method for generating a wide range of clock rates from a single clock. A delta is generated from a first clock signal and a second clock signal. An accumulative offset is generated from adding the delta to a previous accumulative offset for each clock period of the first clock signal. Whenever an overflow is encountered, the value of the accumulative offset is truncated. The second clock signal is interpolated between adjacent values.
