Timing signal generator providing synchronized timing signals at non-integer clock multiples adjustable by more than one period

A method for providing timing signals, comprising:

• resetting by a selectable period signal a first resettable counter counting cycles of a received clock within a period of the selectable periodic signal;
• storing a first period value and a second period value, the first and second stored period values derivable from a relationship between the received clock and the selectable periodic signal;
• generating a coincidence signal indicative of an output of the first resettable counter coinciding with the stored first period value;
• providing the selectable period signal in response to the coincidence signal, the selectable period signal having a non-integer relationship with respect to the received clock cycles;
• generating, responsive to the selectable period signal, an updated residue value according to the stored second period value and a current residue value;
• and
• resetting by a beginning-of-time signal a second resettable counter configured to count cycles of the received clock since the beginning-of-time signal.

A system for providing timing signals, comprising:

• means for resetting by a selectable period signal a first resettable counter counting cycles of a received clock within a period of the selectable periodic signal;
• means for storing a first period value and a second period value, the first and second stored period values derivable from a relationship between the received clock and the selectable periodic signal;
• means for generating a coincidence signal indicative of an output of the first resettable counter coinciding with the stored first period value;
• means for providing the selectable period signal in response to the coincidence signal, the selectable period signal having a non-integer relationship with respect to the received clock cycles;
• means for generating, responsive to the selectable period signal, an updated residue value according to the stored second period value and a current residue value;
• and
• means for resetting by a beginning-of-time signal a second resettable counter configured to count cycles of the received clock since the beginning-of-time signal.
