826 results about "Frequency divider" patented technology

A frequency divider, also called a clock divider or scaler or prescaler, is a circuit that takes an input signal of a frequency, fᵢₙ, and generates an output signal of a frequency: fₒᵤₜ=fᵢₙ/n where n is an integer. Phase-locked loop frequency synthesizers make use of frequency dividers to generate a frequency that is a multiple of a reference frequency. Frequency dividers can be implemented for both analog and digital applications.
