Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A slip phase control phase-locked loop includes a voltage-controlled oscillator for generating a frequency signal, and a binary programmable frequency divider for producing a frequency-divided signal in response to the frequency signal supplied thereto, the binary programmable frequency divider including a 2-scale-factor prescaler, a swallow counter, and a main counter. The phase of the frequency-divided signal is compared with the phase of a reference frequency signal. A phase-compared signal is integrated and the integrated signal is applied to the voltage-controlled oscillator. A D/A converter swallow counter and a D/A converter counter are operable with the binary programmable frequency …

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 22, 1990 and granted May 24, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 22, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 22, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
