Title:
PROGRAMMABLE LOW-POWER HIGH-FREQUENCY DIVIDER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3935901
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a programmable low-power high-frequency divider circuit.
SOLUTION: A fast latch includes: a NAND stage adapted to receive a clock signal and a data input signal; a clocked inverter stage wherein a first input of the clocked inverter stage is coupled to the output of the NAND stage and a second input of the clocked inverter stage is coupled to the clock signal; a first inverter stage wherein a first input of the first inverter stage is coupled to an output of the clocked inverter and a second input of the first inverter stage is coupled to a reset signal; and a second inverter stage, having an output, wherein an input of the second inverter stage is coupled to an output of the first inverter stage. The fast latch is suitable for use in frequency divider circuits. A homologue of frequency dividers using the fast latch, a unique 3/4 divider and a 2 divider not using the fast latch are also disclosed.
