Abstract:
A communication system including a plurality of communication devices configured to operate according to a plurality of communication clock signals, respectively, wherein the plurality of communication clock signals are based on a common reference clock signal. The communication system further includes a phase-locked loop configured to generate an output signal in response to the common reference clock signal, wherein the output signal is in phase lock with the common reference clock signal; a signal division controller configured to generate a divider reset signal in response to a binary select signal; and a divider configured to generate one of the plurality of communication clock signals by performing frequency division of the output signal, wherein the divider reset signal controls a start time of the frequency division.
