The application provides a programmable
frequency divider, a phase-locked loop circuit, a
chip and an electronic device, and the programmable
frequency divider comprises: a frequency division module, which comprises n frequency division unit cascades, each frequency division unit is controlled by shielding based on a respective reset
signal and is controlled by frequency division based on a respective frequency division control bit and a mode input
signal, so as to perform frequency division operation on a respective input
clock, wherein n is a natural number greater than 1; a control module, which is connected with the frequency division control end and the reset end of each frequency division unit in the frequency division module, and is used for providing a corresponding frequency division control bit and a corresponding reset
signal to each frequency division unit; and an output sampling module, which is connected with the mode output end of the second frequency division unit in the frequency division module, and samples the mode output signal of the second frequency division unit based on the input
clock of the first frequency division unit to obtain a final frequency division
clock. The application solves the problem that the existing programmable
frequency divider cannot realize a wide frequency division range.
