Patent ID: 7464285

Claim:
Apparatus for communicating clock correction data between a plurality of clocked entities using a clock correction unit, comprising: a source-native pre-scaler for converting a plurality of source-native clock correction values to a plurality of scaled source-native clock correction values, said pre-scaler multiplying each source-native clock correction value by a factor N 1 ; a source-native divider for dividing an adjusted source-native clock correction value by a value M 1 to produce a standard quotient and a standard remainder, said standard quotient defining a standard clock correction value; a source-native accumulator for accumulating a sum comprised of at least one of said scaled source-native clock corrections and said standard remainder produced from said source-native divider, said sum defining said adjusted source-native clock correction value; and a communication link for communicating each said standard clock correction value from a first clocked entity to a second clocked entity.
