Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for providing frequency divided clocks are described. An example apparatus includes a first circuit configured to provide a first intermediate clock responsive, at least in part, to a first input clock, the first intermediate clock being lower in frequency than the first input clock and further includes a second circuit configured to provide a second intermediate clock and a third intermediate clock responsive, at least in part, to a second input clock, the second intermediate clock being complementary to the third intermediate clock and lower in frequency than the second input clock. The apparatus further includes a third circuit configured to select and provide as an output clock one of the second and third intermediate clocks responsive, at least in part, to the first and second intermediate clocks.
