A frequency divider (50) comprises complementary components (e.g., CMOS transistors) which are placed in two complementary portions (10, 20) with similar structures. The portions are coupled by four lines (131-134). Each line (e.g., 131) is coupled to a pair of transistors including a pull device (e.g., 271) and a hold device (e.g., 291). The devices receives identical signals from another line (e.g., 134) and the input signal X in the same, non-inverted form. The devices have complementary logical functions because of their complementary structures (serial+544 parallel) and complementary components (P-FET, N-FET). When a line (e.g., 131) is pulled to a reference line (e.g., 91), contention between the devices is substantially avoided. There is no need to provide the input signal X in a non-inverted and in an inverted form.
