Abstract
An example embodiment disclosed herein enables at least one frequency divider chain of a multiphase divider circuit to ensure proper phase relations after multiple frequency divisions. Another example embodiment enables a unique reset sequence to maximize a timing margin for reset signals of the at least one frequency divider chain and, thus, maximizes a bandwidth of the multiphase divider circuit.
