  • Clock generator and method for generating a clock signal
    Patent number: 5774006
    Abstract: In a clock generator (100), an oscillator (30) supplies an oscillator signal (38) to a first trigger (10) and to a second trigger (20). The triggers change the oscillator signal (38) to a first and a second trigger signal (18, 28). The second trigger (20) has a larger hysteresis range than the first trigger (10), so that the first trigger signal (18) starts toggling before the second trigger signal (28) starts toggling. A detector (40) determines that the second trigger signal (28) toggles at least three times, that means that the oscillator signal (38) goes over the larger hysteresis range in two directions. The detector (40) provides a result to a control circuit (50) which derives a clock signal (98) from the first trigger signal (18).
