A clock generator circuit accepts phased input clock signals having an input clock frequency, and generates from the phased signals an output clock signal having low jitter and a clock frequency created by dividing or multiplying the input clock frequency. In exemplary embodiments having four phased input signals and a duty cycle correction feature, a clock generator circuit provides output clock frequencies of the input clock frequency divided by X/2, where X is an integer. In other embodiments not having duty cycle correction, a clock generator circuit provides output clock frequencies of the input clock frequency divided by X/4. The delay through the clock generator circuit is minimal, and is independent of the divisor. Variations include programmable divisors and multipliers and optional phase shifting.
