Abstract

See full text

Method and circuitry for a frequency synthesizer having wide operating frequency range. The frequency synthesizer uses multiple programmable loadable counters in a phase-locked loop arrangement to generate any combination of clock frequencies based on user programmed values. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the phase-locked loop includes a voltage-controlled oscillator with a built-in programmable phase shift. The present invention further provides a preferred embodiment for a high speed loadable down counter for use in the frequency synthesizer.
