Abstract
A digital-to-phase or digital-to-time-shift converter () includes a delay line (), a multiplexor () and synchronization circuit (). In the converter () the clock edges of a reference signal are shifted in response to the value of a multi-bit digital word, IN (). The synchronization circuit () gates the output of the multiplexor () such that a pulse appears at the synchronization circuit's () output port () only when the circuit is gated by a signal at input TRIG (). The synchronization circuit () creates a time aperture for the multiplexor output.
