A frequency divider is a circuit that takes an input signal of a frequency and generates an output signal at a lower frequency that is an integer fraction of the input frequency. Frequency dividers are used in phase-locked loop frequency synthesizers to generate frequencies that are multiples of a reference frequency. They can be implemented for both analog and digital applications.

Frequency divider

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A frequency divider, also called a clock divider or scaler or prescaler, is a circuit that takes an

input signal of a frequency,

where

, and generates an output signal of a frequency:

is an integer. Phase-locked loop frequency synthesizers make

use of frequency dividers to generate a frequency that is a multiple of a


reference frequency. Frequency dividers can be implemented for
both analog and digital applications.
