A Multi-Modulus Programmable Frequency Divider With 33.3 to 66.7 Duty Cycle Output Signal

摘要

A multi-modulus programmable frequency divider architecture with 333% to 66.7% duty cycle output signal is presented. Key circuits of the architecture are 2/3 divider cells, which share the same logic and almost same circuit cells. This architecture can divide the input clock frequency by 22 to 2n+1 -1 with unit step increment, where n is the number of 2/3 divider cells; and 33.3% to 66.7% duty cycle output signal greatly improve output load driver capable.
