Zusammenfassung:The circuit for synchronizing multiple sub-systems uses one voltage-controlled oscillator. A phase and frequency aligned signal output from the voltage-controlled oscillator is transmitted to each sub-system within the digital system. The circuit for generating a synchronous clock generates a synchronization signal in a master device that is then supplied as an input to one or more slave devices. The synchronization signal provides a mechanism by which the slave devices achieve identical and simultaneous phase alignments to the internally generated clock in the master device. Independent claims are included for; a method for synchronizing multiple sub-systems using a single voltage-controlled oscillator.
