Patent attributes
A clock circuit includes a circuit configured to use a regulated voltage on a regulated voltage node to provide a frequency modulated clock signal having a frequency vacillating between a first frequency and a second frequency. The clock circuit includes an auxiliary loading circuit coupled to the regulated voltage node and configured to selectively provide load compensation for a load difference of the circuit. The load difference is a difference between a first load corresponding to the first frequency and a second load corresponding to the second frequency. The circuit may include a frequency divider circuit configured to use the regulated voltage on the regulated voltage node to generate the frequency modulated clock signal by frequency dividing an input clock signal according to a divide value vacillating between a first divide value and a second divide value.
