摘要:
Systems and methods for dividing input clock signals by programmable divide ratios can produce output clock signals with the delay from the input clock signal to the output clock signal independent of the value of the divide ratio and with the duty cycle of the output clock signal being 50% independent of the value of the divide ratio. An example programmable clock divider includes a modulo N counter that produces a count signal that counts modulo the divide ratio and a half-rate clock signal generator that produces a common half-rate clock signal, an even half-rate clock signal, and an odd half-rate clock signal that toggle at one-half the rate of the output clock signal. The common half-rate clock signal, the even half-rate clock signal, and the odd half-rate clock signal are combined to produce the output clock signal.

A method includes receiving a count corresponding to a number of peaks of a resonant signal that exceed a reference signal and comparing the count to a floating count window defined by a first count threshold and a second count threshold, the first count threshold is larger than the second count threshold. The method further includes selectively shifting the floating count window in a direction of the count when the count falls outside of the floating count window.

摘要:
A clock frequency divider is provided which has first through Pth (where P is an integer) sub-counters, each capable of counting M+1 clock pulses and provided in parallel, and first through Pth clock signals are provided to the sub-counters, which has same period as a reference clock signal and are sequentially shifted by 1/P of the period of the reference clock signal. Of the first through Pth sub-counters, when the Nth sub-counter (where N is an arbitrary number from 1 to P) finishes counting a prescribed number M of reference clock pulses, all the other sub-counters are initialized, or, at least the (N+1)th sub-counter is initialized.
