A low power frequency divider and a low power phase locked loop, which consume the least power. The low power frequency divider generates a frequency dividing signal by dividing a frequency of an input signal in a uniform ratio, and includes a phase to voltage converter, a comparator, a phase synchronization circuit, and a reset circuit. The phase to voltage converter generates a phase voltage signal corresponding to phase change of the input signal in response to a reset signal. The comparator generates a comparator signal by comparing the phase voltage signal and a reference phase voltage signal. The phase synchronization circuit generates the frequency dividing signal by matching phases of the input signal and the comparator signal. The reset circuit generates the reset signal in response to the comparator signal or the frequency dividing signal. |
