Abstract
A divider circuit for dividing the frequency of a multi-phase clock signal, which can ensure a sufficient data latch time even if the multi-phase clock signal has a high frequency, includes a main latch circuit which generates an inverted data signal using, for example, two of eight clock signals of an eight-phase clock signal, and a sub-latch circuit which uses the eight clock signals as a trigger to receive the inverted data signal as a common data signal.
