Abstract
An electronic device for the automatic conversion of sampling frequencies, being a type adapted to convert a predetermined frequency of a sampled input signal to a desired frequency of an output signal. The device is comprised of: a phase detector being input both the input frequency and the output frequency; a decoder block associated with the detector to determine an interpolation coefficient; an interpolation filter having a digital input for encoding the sampling signal and receiving the input frequency on the one side, and a digital signal representative of the interpolation coefficient on the other side; and a synchronizer connected after the filter and being input both said input and output frequencies, the synchronizer having a digital output for encoding the converted sampling signal.
