Clock generator and clock generating method capable of varying clock frequency without increasing the number of delay elements

A clock generator including a frequency multiplier, a phase lock circuit and a frequency divider. The frequency multiplier generates a frequency multiplied clock by multiplying the frequency of an input clock. The phase lock circuit detects a phase difference between the input clock and a frequency divided clock, and generates, by delaying the frequency multiplied clock by an amount corresponding to the phase difference, a phase-locked clock with its phase locked with the input clock. The frequency divider detects in every fixed cycle a particular pulse of the phase-locked clock, and generates the frequency divided clock by dividing the phase-locked clock with reference to the particular pulse of the phase-locked clock. In particular, the frequency divider detects the particular pulse immediately previous to a falling edge of the input clock. This can reduce the phase difference between the input clock and the phase-locked clock, and hence to solve a problem of a conventional clock generator in that a delay time of a digital delay line in a phase lock circuit must be lengthened with a reduction in the multiplication number of the frequency multiplied clock, which requires a greater number of delay elements because of a large occupying area of the delay elements and a decoder, thereby increasing the circuit scale and cost of a chip to reduce the multiplication number of the frequency multiplied clock.

Micropower RC oscillator

A micropower RC oscillator having stable frequency characteristics with varying temperature includes a number of inverting circuits which are driven by an external driving voltage and connected in series with each other and an RC circuit having a resistor disposed in between a head-inverter and a tail inverter to form a closed loop and a capacitor disposed between the tail-inverter and the head-inverter. The resistor comprises a plurality of unit resistors constituting of a P+ diffusion resistor and a polysilicon resistor having opposing characteristics with respect to temperature variation at a predetermined ratio. A resistance regulator controls the resistance of the resistor by decoding an external resistance setting data to select a unit resistor that determines the oscillation frequency effectively. A driving voltage circuit receives a reference signal having the voltage level which is stable against the temperature variation by using a current source and a load having opposing characteristics with respect to the temperature variation and provides as a driving voltage of the RC oscillating circuit after increasing a fan-out capacity of the reference signal. An output level shifting circuit can be added to the rear side of the RC oscillating circuit to adjust the voltage level of the oscillation signal with the appropriate standard required at a receiving end.
