Abstract
A system and method for providing synchronous clocking allows for precise control of the phase relationship of the clocking signals to thereby provide accurate duty cycles for proper system operation. A digital logic circuit, such as a D-type flip-flop, is provided with a phase signal and clock signal having a frequency relationship. The output of the digital logic circuit is a function of the phase signal and clock signal. The synchronous output may be provided to multiple locations within a system to allow for a synchronous local clock in each of the locations.
