Clock frequency multiplier and method for multiplying a clock frequency
A clock frequency multiplier is provided. The clock frequency multiplier comprises a tracking circuit, a pulsing circuit, and a shaping circuit. The tracking circuit receives a clearing signal and a reference clock signal, outputs the quotient of the number of cycles of the reference clock signal in a cycle of the clearing signal divided by a first predetermined value. The pulsing circuit outputs a pulsing signal wherein the frequency of the pulsing signal is the frequency of the clearing signal multiplied by the first predetermined value. The shaping circuit divides the frequency of the pulsing signal by a second predetermined value and shapes the pulsing signal into a clock signal with a predetermined duty cycle, and outputs the divided and shaped pulsing signal as an output clock signal.
