Abstract
An agile frequency synthesizer with dynamic phase and pulse-width control is disclosed. In one aspect, the frequency synthesizer includes a count circuit configured to modify a stored count value by an adjustment value. The frequency synthesizer also includes an output clock generator configured to generate an output clock signal having rising and falling edges that are based at least in part on the stored count value satisfying a count threshold. The count circuit is further configured to alter at least one of the period or phase of the output clock signal based at least in part on modifying an adjustment rate of the count circuit.
