PDM ACCUMULATOR SECONDARY LOOP FILTER FOR CONVERSION OF MULTIBIT PHASE ERROR INPUT INTO ADVANCE/DELAY CONTROL FOR STEPWISE CLOCK GENERATOR

PURPOSE: To convert a multi-bit phase error input signal, with respect to a phase locked loop, into a high resolution control signal for a polyphase clock generator that supplies a sample clock output signal with a sample clock cycle period. CONSTITUTION: In a pulse density modulation(PDM) accumulator secondary loop filter, a phase error signal is given to a proportional accumulator 102, in which a phase error term proportional to a phase error input signal is obtained and it is fed to both an integration device accumulator 108 and an integration + proportion adder circuit 110. Then an integration + proportional output term is fed to a PDM accumulator 120. The PDM accumulator 120 interfaces the integration + proportion term to a polyphase clock generator. An adder 122 stores the integration + proportion term. Every time an overflow or underflow takes place in the adder 122, the polyphase clock generator jumps one phase period via a shift/idle signal PJEN.
