Abstract: An external clock signal having a first frequency is received. A division ratio is automatically determined based at least in part upon a second frequency of an internal clock. The second frequency is greater than the first frequency. A decimation factor is automatically determined based at least in part upon the first frequency of the external clock signal, the second frequency of the internal clock signal, and a predetermined desired sampling frequency. The division ratio is applied to the internal clock signal to reduce the first frequency to a reduced third frequency. The decimation factor is applied to the reduced third frequency to provide the predetermined desired sampling frequency. Data is clocked to a buffer using the predetermined desired sampling frequency.
