Abstract
A programmable, self-resetting divider includes a modified Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) counter that starts in an initial state and increments through a count range. The self-resetting divider also includes a reset circuit that detects a pre-selected final state of the modified LFSR counter, provides an output signal in response to the detecting of the final state, and provides a reset signal to the modified LFSR counter in response to the detecting of the final state.
