Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A clock signal generator comprising:
a clock source;
a driver coupled to the clock source, the driver configured to output first and second clock signals;
a frequency divider coupled to the clock source, the frequency divider having a first output, and a second output;
a generator circuit having a first input coupled to the first output of the frequency divider, a second input coupled to the second output of the frequency divider, a first output at which a first chopper control signal is output, and a second output at which a second chopper control signal is output; and
a chopper circuit configured to receive the first and second clock signals, and further configured to receive the first and second chopper control signals, wherein the chopper circuit is configured to have a first state in which the first clock signal is passed as a first output signal and the second clock signal is passed as a second output signal, a second state in which the first clock signal is passed as the second output signal and the second clock signal is passed as the first output signal, and a third state in which a previous state is maintained.
