Abstract
A pulse train divider circuit includes a first flip-flop (1) whose Q output is connected to the D input of a second flip-flop (2) whose Q output is connected to the D input of the first flip-flop (1). A pulse train to be divided is applied via an input (3) directly to the clock input C of the first flip-flop (1) and via a circuit (4) which delays the pulse train applied to the clock input C of the flip-flop (2) to provide a given phase relationship between the pulse trains at the two clock inputs. The circuit divides-by-two, and the resulting divided pulse trains available at the various outputs have phase relationships depending on the phase relationship of the applied pulse trains at the clock inputs.
