Abstract
A programmable clock generator delivers, using a primary clock signal of determined frequency, a first clock signal the frequency of which is equal to the frequency of the primary clock signal divided by a set point M. The set point M is a decimal number comprising a whole part Mand a decimal part Mand the clock generator modulates the period of the pulses of the first clock signal so that the duration of Ni successive pulses is substantially equal to M*Ni times the period of the primary clock signal, Ni being a reference number for modulating the period of the pulses of the first clock signal.
