A pulse signal generator has an input receiving an initial pulse signal having an initial period, an oscillator generating an oscillator signal, a first stage and a second stage. The first stage is synchronized with the oscillator signal and configured to deliver a secondary pulse signal having a separation between successive pulses that is representative of an integer part of a division of the initial period by an integer N. The first stage further delivers an auxiliary signal representative of a fractional part of the division and containing, for each pulse of the secondary pulse signal, an indication of a time shift to be applied to the pulse taking into account the separation. The second stage is configured to receive the successive pulses and the corresponding time shift indications and generate successive corresponding pulses of an output pulse signal.

An input value, where the input value is an amount which the current value of the counter is to be increased is received. The current value of the modulo binary counter and an offset value of the modulo binary counter are increased by the input value. Whether the current value of the counter is greater than or equal to the modulus value of the binary counter is determined. The current value of the counter is replaced with an updated offset value of the counter, where the updated offset value is the offset value of the counter increased by the input value. The updated offset value of the counter is returned.

Frequency divider techniques are disclosed which can be used to address two problems: when an incorrect division occurs if the modulus control changes before the divide cycle is complete, and when an incorrect division occurs due to a boundary crossing (e.g., power-of-2 boundary crossing in a fractional-N PLL application). In one embodiment, a frequency divider is provided comprising a plurality of flip-flops operatively coupled to carry out division of an input frequency, and configured to generate a modulus output and receive a divided clock signal of a previous cell. An additional flip-flop is selectively clocked off one of the modulus output or the divided clock of the previous stage, depending at least in part on a Skip control signal applied to a data input of the additional flip-flop, and is further configured to selectively reset the plurality of flip-flops to a state that will result in a correct divide ratio.

A setting data output circuit (3) is configured to update setting data in synchronization with a frequency divided signal output from a dual modulus frequency divider on a last stage out of the dual modulus frequency dividers to which a non-significant reset signal is output from a reset circuit (6) which are included in a plurality of dual modulus frequency dividers (1-1 and 1-2) in a first frequency divider group (1). As a result, when a frequency dividing ratio of the dual modulus frequency divider on the last stage out of valid dual modulus frequency dividers contributing to frequency dividing operation is 3, it is possible to realize normal frequency dividing operation even in a case in which frequency dividing ratio setting data to decrease the number of valid dual modulus frequency dividers contributing to the frequency dividing operation is provided.

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.
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.
