Patent ID: 7948327

Claim:
A frequency synthesizer comprising: a phase lock loop component configured to create a spread spectrum frequency output signal; a phase lock loop controller interface configured to control the phase lock loop component, wherein feedback divider control values are adjusted; and a control pattern generation component configured to generate said feedback divider control values, wherein a modulation control value contribution of each of said feedback divider control values is proportional to the difference from each of said feedback divider control values to an average of said feedback divider control values, wherein said proportion is equal to a new feedback divider control value minus an average feedback divider control value divided by said average feedback divider control value, wherein said control pattern generation component includes: an input modulation signal mixer configured to produce an error modulated signal; a future error generation component configured to produce a concurrent plurality of error signals based upon said error modulated signal and a future vector; an error selection component configured to select one of said concurrent plurality of error signals and an identification of a selected error signal; and a control value selection component configured to select a feedback loop control value based upon said selected one of said concurrent plurality of error signals.
