Abstract
Adaptive clock generator including a master clock. A control means detects the current operating mode and, in response, provides a corresponding integer output N. A programmable pulse generator provides an output clock signal comprising a 'high' pulse having a predetermined width followed by a 'low' pulse having a width of N master clock periods. A dithered clock signal may be provided when the control means provides an integer output N selected from a set of integer values. Preferably, N is selected in a random or pseudo-random manner.
