Clock syntonization using digital control loop

Abstract

In one embodiment, a syntonization system includes a device including a dedicated clock signal input interface to be connected by a clock connection to a remote device and to receive a remote clock signal from the remote device, the remote device being external to the device, and clock circuitry to generate a local clock signal, and a digital clock controller to generate digital control signals to control the clock circuitry to syntonize the local clock signal according to the remote clock signal based on a difference between frequencies of the remote clock signal and the local clock signal, and provide the digital control signals to the clock circuitry, wherein the clock circuitry is to adjust the frequency of the local clock signal based on the digital control signals.
