Abstract

See full text

The plural-phase clocking signal used in a subsampling time-domain digital filter is partially blanked to generate a sparse clocking signal for a clocked data latch that decimates the output signal from the digital filter, to supply it at a subsampling rate as compared to the sampling rate of input signal to the filter. The blanking signal is generated from a counter that counts occurrences of pulses in the plural-phase clocking signal, which counter comprises a ripple-carry adder and another clocked data latch arranged to accumulate successive unit values. This procedure guarantees correct timing of clocking signal for the output latch vis-a-vis the plural-phase clocking signal used in the preceding time-domain digital filter despite the time taken for carry ripplethrough in the counter adder. Digital hardware is conserved by blanking only one phase of the plural-phase clocking signals.
