Clock pulse regenerator

Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a clock pulse regenerator for generating a clock pulse sequence in response to an incoming digital data signal there is described a regen-, erator which produces the clock pulse sequence substantially free from phase jitter and phase deviation. From an input digital data an oscillator pro-, duces a sequence of first pulses at a frequency greater than that of the input signal. In response to the first pulses a first counter generates a, sequence of regenerated clock pulses. The input digital signal and the regenerated clock pulses are gated to form a gate pulse having a pulse width proportional to the phase difference between the two signals. The gate pulse is selectively transmitted …
