Patent attributes
A digital clock divider includes an adder and a clock division device configured to receive a first clock signal with a first frequency and to output a second clock signal having a lower frequency relative to the first frequency. The digital clock divider also includes a division value separation device and a feedback section. The division value separation device is configured to divide an addition value output from the adder into an integer value and a fractional value. The feedback section is configured to provide to the adder a feedback value, the feedback value comprising the fractional component or the fractional component modified by a processing device. The adder is configured to add the feedback value to an applied division value. The clock division device is controlled on the basis of the integer value.
