A divide-by-seven divider includes a first module clocked with a clock input, and a second module coupled to the first module and clocked with an output of the first module. The first and second modules are configured to divide the clock input by seven and to output the divided clock input. The first module may be configured to store a count between 0 and 3 in a count cycle. The divide-by-seven divider may further include a feedback module coupled between the first module and the second module that is configured to cause the first module to skip one count in the count between 0 and 3 once every other count cycle. Specifically, the first module may be configured to store incrementally the count “00,” “10,” “11,” and “01” in a count cycle and to skip the count “01” every other count cycle based on input from the feedback module.

The invention relates to a method and device for providing at least a first output signal (O Q) having a frequency that is obtained through dividing a clock signal (CL1) frequency by an odd integer. A digital value is shifted into a set of latches based on the clock signal (CL1) and kept there a predetermined number of half clock cycles. The value is shifted into a following latch delayed with half a clock cycle of the clock signal compared with a previous latch. Then a first (Q1) and a second (Q6) intermediate signal, each provided through information stored in a latch, are interpolated for forming said first output signal (O Q). Because of this it is possible to provide an output signal having edges displaced from clock signal edges, thus allowing a higher resolution than the original clock signal has and in particular, enabling quadrature outputs from a standard odd-integer frequency divider.
