Abstract

A plurality of inverters are arranged serially to form a ring oscillator and coupled to receive a reference clock signal. The reference clock signal is used to switch the inverters on and off so that not all of the inverters are on at a same time. The ring oscillator circuit is used as a divider circuit to divide the frequency of the reference clock signal to produce a local oscillator signal at a second frequency.
