Abstract
A modem and an improved phase-locked loop used in the modem. A presettable counter (251) generates the desired signal (TXCLKOUT). The reference input clock signal (TXCLKIN) and the generated clock signal (TXCLKOUT) are compared by an exclusive-OR gate (254). The output of the gate (254) is sampled by two flip-flops (256,266) before and after a rising edge of the TXCLKOUT signal. If the TXCLKIN and TXCLKOUT signals differ by more than a desired phase window a logic circuit (264) adjusts the preset inputs of the counter (251) so that the TXCLKIN and TXCLKOUT signals are in phase within the desired phase window.
