Abstract
A control system for a phase generator including a delay block including delay units, and first and second multiplexers configured to receive output signals of each of the delay units and to respectively supply first and second output signals. The control system may include a controller configured to drive the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer respectively with a first select signal and a second select signal, a detection module configured to detect a phase difference between the first output signal and the second output signal and to generate a corresponding digital phase shift signal, the detection module including a phase comparator, and a Time-Digital converter circuit coupled thereto and having logic elements configured to generate the digital phase shift signal, and a logic circuit connected to the detection module and configured to process the digital phase shift signal and to generate a signal indicative of a control executed.
