摘要
The invention relates to a high-speed non-integer frequency divider circuit for use in generating frequencies in a communication device, comprising: at least four bi-stable memory devices each having an input terminal, a clock terminal and an output terminal for outputting an output signal. The high-speed non-integer frequency divider circuit is characterized in that the at least four bi-stable memory devices are arranged in a cascaded chain such that each bi-stable memory device following the first bi-stable memory device receives the output signal of a previous bi-stable memory device in the cascaded chain at its input terminal and such that at least one of the output signals of the last bi-stable memory device is used to control the input terminal of the first bi-stable memory device, and in that the frequency divider circuit further comprises a clocking arrangement adapted to provide an in-phase clock signal, a quadrature clock signal, an inverse of the in-phase clock signal and an inverse of the quadrature clock signal to the clock terminals of each of the at least four bi-stable memory devices such that a combination of output signals from the at least bi-stable memory devices produces a frequency divided output signal of the frequency divider circuit having a frequency division ratio of fourths of the frequency of the in- phase clock signal. The invention also relates to a frequency synthesizer and a communication device.
