Abstract

Embodiments relate to a system and method of generating a duty-cycle matched differential clock divider circuit. The duty-cycle matched differential clock divider circuit may include a primary latch, differential latch, and a first inverter. The primary latch may be coupled to receive a feedback signal and complementary input clock signals. The primary latch may be configured to produce a first output signal. The differential latch may be coupled to receive the first output signal produced by the primary latch and the complementary input clock signals. The differential latch may be configured to produce a second output signal and a third output signal. The first inverter may be coupled to receive the second output signal produced by the differential latch, and may be configured to produce the feedback signal applied to an input of the primary latch.
