Abstract: An all-digital frequency conversion apparatus is provided that achieves frequency conversion using a simple phase detector and integer and fractional phase feedback information from a digital oscillator output. In an embodiment, a target phase accumulator unit generates a target phase signal to the phase detector unit. The target phase accumulator unit receives inputs from a reference signal input, and a target phase input value. The digital phase detector unit receives the reference signal, a current phase feedback input signal, and the target phase input signal. The phase detector unit outputs a frequency setting signal to a frequency value generator unit. The detector output is based on the difference between the current phase and the target phase. A frequency value generator unit is configured to output a frequency value signal to a digital oscillator unit that generates a corresponding digital output signal that is directly fed back to the current phase feedback input of the phase detector unit.

Abstract: A general method is provided to achieve frequency conversion in an all-digital frequency conversion device that produces an output signal having a selectable phase and frequency that is substantially synchronous with the input signal to be converted. A multiplicity of time-shifted signals is generated, and appropriate ones are selected to set and reset an output signal. An apparatus, computing system, and software product that implement the present invention are also provided.
