Abstract
Clock generating circuitry comprises a first frequency multiplier for multiplying the frequency of a reference clock applied thereto by 2n, where n is a natural integer, and for furnishing the frequency-multiplied clock, a frequency divider for dividing the frequency of the frequency-multiplied clock furnished by the first frequency multiplier by 227, and for furnishing the frequency-divided clock, and a second frequency multiplier for multiplying the frequency of the frequency-divided clock from the frequency divider by 128, and for furnishing the frequency-multiplied clock. The reference clock can have a frequency of about 4.43 MHz.
