SINGLE ENDED CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATOR HAVING A DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide for generating asampled differential pattern signal with reduced jitter. In one embodimentof the present invention, a seed frequency generator provides a differentialseed frequency signal. The differential seed frequency signal is converted to a single ended seed frequency signal by a differential-to-single endedconverter. The pattern generation logic utilizes the single end seedfrequency signal to generate single ended pattern signals. Single ended-to-differential samplers then generate a sampled differential pattern signal by sampling the single ended pattern signal according to the differential seedfrequency signal.
