Abstract
Systems and methods for synthesizing frequencies with high solution and low jitter are described. In one aspect, a frequency synthesizer (10)for producing a series of output signal pulses spaced-apart by a characteristic period is described. The frequency synthesizer includes a phase-locked looped (11)having a multiphase counter (20) configured to produce a feedback signal pulse shifted in time by a programmable fraction of the output signal period relative to a period corresponding to a programmable number of output signal pulses. In another aspect, a hase shifter is configured to provide an over sampling clock signal with a frequency greater than the frequency of the output signal. In another aspect, the frequency synthesizer includes a phase-locked loop with a charge pump (14)having a pull up current source, a pull down current source, and an equalization circuit programmable to substantially offset mismatch between the pull up current source and the pull down current source.
