  • Patent number: 7764305
    Abstract: CW lock is conducted with less manual operation. A first input 22 receives a black burst (BB) signal from a key TV station. A second input 30 receives a continuous wave (CW) signal having an accurate, known frequency. A phase adjust signal generator 24 generates a reset signal having a known phase relationship with regard to the key TV station BB signal. The reset signal is used as a phase adjust signal. A PLL 32 receives the CW signal to provide clock. A counter 34 receives the clock and provides a frame pulse signal for synchronizing the key and local TV signals at a local TV station wherein the BB signal of the local station may be derived from the frame pulse signal. The counter 34 uses the reset signal to adjust the phase relationship between the key TV station BB signal and the frame pulse to a desired phase relationship based upon the key TV station BB signal.

  • Patent number: 6788127
    Abstract: A circuit for variably delaying a serial digital data signal delays a parallel data clock rather than the serial digital data signal directly. A delay circuit receives the parallel data clock to provide a delayed parallel data clock, the delay being a function of a control signal. A phase-locked loop receives the delayed parallel data clock to generate a serial data clock in phase with the delayed parallel data clock. A parallel-to-serial converter reads an n-bit parallel digital data signal from a memory using the delayed parallel data clock, and converts the parallel digital data signal to the serial digital data signal using the serial data clock. By changing the control signal continuously, the delay of the delayed parallel data clock and of the serial digital data signal also changes continuously so the serial digital data signal appears to have jitter.

  • Publication number: 20040004505
    Abstract: A data delay circuit effectively provides a delayed serial digital data signal, with the ability to change the delay amount continuously, by delaying a lower frequency parallel data clock rather than the serial digital data signal directly. A first delay circuit 102 receives a parallel data clock which is delayed according to a first control signal to provide a delayed parallel data clock. The frequency of the parallel data clock is lower than that of a serial data clock so the first delay circuit 102 may be a delay device that provides a larger delay. A phase-locked loop 114 receives the delayed parallel data clock to generate the serial data clock in phase with the delayed parallel data clock. A parallel-to-serial converter 112 reads an n-bit parallel digital data signal from a memory 100 according to the delayed parallel data clock, and converts the parallel digital data signal to the serial digital data signal according to the serial data clock S_CLK.
