Abstract:
A master phase locked loop device is operable in association with one or more slave devices including slave digitally controlled oscillators (sDCOs), one or more digital PLL (DPLL) channels include a master digitally controlled oscillator (mDCO). A master synchronization timer generating master timing pulses to read phase and frequency information from the mDCO(s). A peripheral interface sends the read frequency and phase information to the one or more slave devices. A synchronization interface sends the master timing pulses to synchronize a replica synchronization timer in the sDCO(s) that generates slave timing pulses for use in updating the phase and frequency information received at the slave device(s).
