Abstract

A digital video encoder ( ) receives a reference clock signal (REF_CLK ) for determining both a short term and a long term phase correction factor. A pulse detector ( ) determines a number of sample clock (CLK ) time periods between the reference clock signal (REF_CLK ) and a clock signal (CLK ) that is derived from the data received by the digital video encoder ( ). A phase increment generator ( ) supplies an accumulator circuit ( ) with a long term phase increment value based on the number of sample clocks and a TV_standard signal. A counter ( ) and a phase look-up table ( ) supply a short term increment value. The combined short term and long term increment values provide phase and frequency accuracy for the video subcarrier signal.
