    摘要: A method for dividing a frequency includes the steps of receiving a first signal having a first frequency as a clock input to a first digital counter and outputting a second signal as a clock input to a second digital counter having a higher counting capacity than the first counter. The output occurs when the first counter reaches a first number of count cycles. The method also includes generating a third signal having a high cycle and a low cycle, which are determined at least as a function of the first number of count cycles. Depending on a desired division ratio, the high and low cycles may also be a function of a second number of count cycles associated with the second counter. The third signal has a frequency lower than the first frequency.

    摘要: A clock system includes a digital phase/frequency detector (DPFD), a buffer, a digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) including a sigma-delta modulator (SDM), an adder, a first frequency divider. The DPFD may have a first input for a reference input clock and a second input for a feedback signal, and outputting a difference signal representing a phase and/or frequency difference between the reference input clock and the feedback signal. The buffer may be coupled to the DPFD for accumulating the difference signal over time. The sigma-delta modulator (SDM) may have a control input coupled to the buffer. The adder may have inputs coupled to the (SDM) and a source of an integer control word. The first frequency divider may have an input for a clock signal and a control input coupled to the adder, the DCO generating an output clock signal having an average frequency representing a frequency of the input clock signal divided by (N+F/M), wherein N is determined by the integer control word and F/M is determined by an output of the SDM. The system clock also may include a phase-locked loop (PLL) including a phase/frequency detector that has a first input coupled to the output of the DCO and a second input that is phase-locked to the first input, and a second frequency divider coupled from the second input of the PLL to the second input of the DPFD.
