Abstract
A divider circuit and method for generating one or more digital signals is presented. The circuit has a first output section for generating a first digital signal. There is a first output section with an output node to output the first digital signal, and a plurality of switches with one or more control switches. The plurality of switches selectively couple the output node to a first voltage and/or to selectively couple the output node to a second voltage, thereby generating the first digital signal. The or each control switch is prevents at least one of (i) the output node being coupled to the first and second voltages simultaneously and (ii) the output node being decoupled from both the first and second voltages simultaneously.
