A clock signal generator comprising an input pin for receiving an oscillating signal and an output pin for providing a clock signal. The clock signal generator also comprises a frequency divider connected between the input pin and the output pin. The frequency divider having a plurality of frequency division factors associated therewith, wherein, in use, the frequency divider is configured to apply one of the plurality of frequency division factors as an in-use frequency division factor to the oscillating signal in order to generate the clock signal. The clock signal generator further comprising a controller configured to periodically replace the in-use frequency division factor with another of the plurality of frequency division factors.

Clock signal generator

A frequency tunable arrangement (ICT) comprises a tunable oscillator circuit (TOC) that provides an oscillator signal (OS). A controllable frequency divider circuit (CDIV, DBT, DBT, DBT, MUX) provides a frequency-divided signal (MO) on the basis of the oscillator signal. The frequency-divided signal has a frequency that is equal to the frequency of the oscillator signal divided by a division factor. The controllable frequency divider circuit provides any division factor among a set of division factors (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) in which for any division factor a ratio between that division factor and a lower division factor closest thereto, if existing, does not exceed 1.25.
