Method to adjustably convert a first data signal having a first time domain to a second data signal having a second time domain

摘要

The present invention provides a method to adjustably sample a first digitized signal having a first data rate to produce a second digitized signal having a second data rate. This involves processing the second digitized signal to produce an output signal having a timing component contained therein. An error sensing module determines a timing error between the timing component and a digitized reference period. Then this timing error is used to produce a feedback signal that is applied to the sample timing of the first digitized signal. This allows the second digitized signal to be processed using a time domain associated with the second data rate.
