Abstract
A frequency divider circuit (200) includes a frequency sub-divider (201) to provide a frequency divided clock, a delay circuit (250) configured to delay the frequency divided clock by N+0.5 cycles of the input clock to generate a delayed clock, and an output circuit (202) configured to generate an output clock based on the frequency divided clock and the delayed clock, where the output clock has a frequency that is equal to 1/(N+0.5) times a frequency of the input clock, and N is an integer greater than one.
