Abstract:
A circuit includes a phase detection circuit and a phase change circuit. The phase detection circuit compares a phase of a first periodic signal to an input signal to generate a gain signal. The phase change circuit provides phase shifts to the first periodic signal in first and second directions when the gain signal has a first value. The phase change circuit increases phase shifts provided to the first periodic signal in the first direction in response to the gain signal changing from the first value to a second value. The phase change circuit provides phase shifts to the first periodic signal in the second direction when the gain signal has the second value that are smaller than the phase shifts provided to the first periodic signal in the first direction when the gain signal has the second value.
