Patent ID: 7702708

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a first multiplexer that receives a first signal; a second multiplexer that receives the first signal; an output circuit that is coupled to each of the first and second multiplexers; a delay synthesis section having: a first adder that receives at first portion of a control word; and a first register that is coupled to the first adder and the output circuit, wherein the output circuit clocks the first register; and a frequency synthesis section having: a second adder that receives a second portion of the control word; a first set of registers that are coupled in series with one another, wherein each register from the first set of registers is coupled to the output circuit so as to be clocked by the output circuit, wherein the first register from the first set of registers is coupled to the second adder and the last register from the first set of registers is coupled to a control input of the first multiplexer; a second register that is coupled to the output circuit and that receives a delay signal, wherein the output circuit clocks the second register; a third adder that is coupled to the second register and the first register; and a second set of registers that are coupled in series with one another, wherein each register from the second set of registers is coupled to the output circuit so as to be clocked by the output circuit, wherein the first register from the second set of registers is coupled to the third adder and the last register from the second set of registers is coupled to a control input of the second multiplexer.
