Abstract

A fractional frequency-divider circuit is disclosed. The fractional frequency-divider circuit (100) includes a phase generation circuit (101) that receives an input clock signal (103) that has a first frequency, and generates multiple phase signals (104A-104E) using the input clock signal. The fractional frequency-divider circuit also includes a phase selection circuit (102) that selects different ones of the multiple phase signals at different times to generate an output clock signal (105) with a second frequency such that a ratio of the first frequency to the second frequency is a non-integer value.
