Abstract

A dual-modulus prescaler (100) has improved performance for high-speed operation. A timing signal is developed from a flip flop circuit (106) two and one-half clock cycles before the last stage of the prescaler is clocked. The timing signal is used to produce a selector signal to gate a multiplexer (112). Because of the early generation of the timing signal, the multiplexer selection process is removed from the critical path. The remaining delay through the multiplexer is minimal to minimize the critical path of the prescaler.
