Abstract
In one embodiment, a ratio clock divider comprises circuitry for producing an input signal from a differential clock signal, part of which includes circuitry for extending a clock phase of the differential clock signal every Icycle to produce the input signal, I being an integer. The ratio clock divider also includes circuitry for dividing the frequency of the input signal by I to produce a divided clock signal. The divided clock signal has a frequency that equals the frequency of the differential clock signal divided by N, N being equal to I plus a fraction F.
