Abstract

An electronic sub-integer frequency divider circuit, including: a phase rotator circuit, a clock circuitry, a pulse generator which is configured to: (a) receive a plurality of signals having a period TP and of different phases; (b) based on a control command, to process a second clock signal and one or more of the plurality of signals, to produce a second signal which includes S pulses in each period TP; and (c) process the second signal and a first clock signal to produce a regulating signal by which the phase rotator circuit is controlled; and an output interface configured to provide a sub-integer output signal whose frequency is responsive to the regulating signal.
