Abstract
An improved, high-speed frequency divider circuit (32) is presented. The frequency divider circuit (32) is comprised of three D-type flip-flops (34, 36 38). The three flip-flops (34, 36, 38) are clocked synchronously for higher speed of operation. The design of the frequency divider circuit (32) embodies a sagacious state assignment to minimize the number of bits that change state on any given state transition, thus reducing the possibility of faulty circuit operation.
