Abstract
A method for multiphase frequency to voltage conversion includes generating for each cycle of an oscillating input, one of a plurality of non-overlapping clocks. A respective voltage in proportion to an input frequency of the oscillating input, is generated in response to each of the non-overlapping clocks, with a respective one of a plurality of frequency to voltage converters. Each of the respective voltages is summated to generate a voltage sum proportional to the input frequency.
