Abstract

A new digital phase-locked loop (PLL), utilising the synchronisability of electrical oscillators, on a field-programmable gate array has been developed. By interconnecting such PLLs, a dynanlicaly reconflgurable clock network was fonncd, which has been difficult with conventional PLL techniques.
