Abstract
A frequency divider circuit operable at high frequencies for producing an output signal having a frequency value equal to substantially half the frequency value of a clock signal from which the circuit operates. The circuit includes a first transistor branch, an inventor and a second transistor branch. The first transistor branch is connected to an input of the inventor and the second transistor branch is connected to an output of the inventor. The first transistor branch receives a plurality of input signals including the clock signal, a compliment of the clock signal, and the circuit output signal and produces an input signal which is provided to the inventor. The second transistor branch receives a plurality of inputs including the compliment of the clock signal, the clock signal and the inventor output signal, and produces the circuit output signal. The circuit is configured such that the next inventor state is always available for conveyance to the output signal upon a change in the clock signal.
