Abstract: A telephone switching system regenerates a clock signal transmitted from control equipment to peripheral equipment. The switching system receives a clock signal from the control equipment at the peripheral equipment. The clock signal is compared to a reference clock signal generated at the peripheral equipment to determine a phase error. The phase error is accumulated over a time period as determined by the peripheral equipment. The system adjusts the modulo of a ring counter as a function of the accumulated phase error. The output of the ring counter can then be used in timing functions within the peripheral equipment.
