Patent ID: 8890595

Claim:
A synthetic frequency generator comprising; selection logic configured to receive a master oscillator signal and to provide a plurality of selection signals synchronized with the master oscillator signal, the master oscillator signal having a frequency and a period; a multiplexer configured to receive a plurality of phase-control signals; to receive the plurality of selection signals; and to provide first and second multiplexer clock signals having transitions synchronized with transitions of the master oscillator signal using a serial selection of each of the plurality of phase control signals, the serial selection based on the plurality of selection signals; wherein the first and second multiplexer clock signals are configured to include a phase offset, and wherein a period of the phase offset is equal to or greater than one half the period of the master oscillator signal; and an interpolator configured to receive the first and second multiplexer clock signals and to interpolate an output clock signal using the first and second multiplexer clock signals, wherein the output clock signal includes an average frequency greater than zero.
