SIGNAL GENERATOR USING MULTI-SAMPLING AND EDGE COMBINING AND ASSOCIATED SIGNAL GENERATING METHOD

A signal generator (100, 1100, 1300) generates an output signal (S_OUT) according to an oscillating signal (XO_IN). The signal generator (100, 1100, 1300) has a plurality of edge sampling circuits (102_1-102_N) and an edge combining circuit (104, 600, 800, 1000). Each of the edge sampling circuits (...

Zusammenfassung:A signal generator (100, 1100, 1300) generates an output signal (S_OUT) according to an oscillating signal (XO_IN). The signal generator (100, 1100, 1300) has a plurality of edge sampling circuits (102_1-102_N) and an edge combining circuit (104, 600, 800, 1000). Each of the edge sampling circuits (102_1-102_N) receives the oscillating signal (XO_IN), samples the oscillating signal (XO_IN) to obtain at least one of a rising edge and a falling edge in one cycle of the oscillating signal (XO_IN), and outputs a sampled signal (S1-SN) using the at least one of the rising edge and the falling edge. The edge combining circuit (104, 600, 800, 1000) combines a plurality of sampled signals (S1-SN) generated by the edge sampling circuits (102_1-102_N), respectively, to generate the output signal (S_OUT).
