Hello,
I have a question about clock signals. I know you can step down a clock signals using divide by counters or with flip flop circuits using basic gates. I was wondering if it is possible to go the other way and step up a clock signal. For example can I somehow generate a 40Mhz signal from a 10Mhz crystal clock oscillator. On a related note, how do computers operating in the gighertz speed generate their clock signals because I don't believe crystal oscillators can generate signals as high as this.
If anyone have any thoughts or links on this it would be appreciated.
Thanks.
