<p>Generating an output signal having a frequency of 1 /(M+F) of the frequency of the input signal, wherein M represents an integer and F represents a non-zero fraction. Assuming F equals (Q/R) in one embodiment, wherein Q and R are integers, R intermediate signals phase shifted by equal degree (relative to the one with closest phase shift) in one clock period of the input signal are generated. A selection circuit may select one of the intermediate signals in one clock cycle, select the successive signals with increasing phase shift in Q clock cycles, and leave the intermediate signal with the same shift as in the previous clock cycle in the remaining ones of the M clock cycles. A counter (270) counts a change of state in the output of the selection circuit, and generates a pulse representing an edge of the output signal at the time instance when counter counts M.</p> |
