Abstract
A method of dividing a clock signal by an input signal of N bits with M most significant bits is described herein. The method includes dividing the clock signal by the most significant bits of the input signal 2−1 times out of 2divisions of the clock signal, using a divider. The clock signal is divided by a sum of the most significant bits and the least significant bits one time out of 2divisions of the clock signal, using the divider. The clock signal is also divided by 2, 2times, using the divider.
