Abstract
A method of fractional division of a frequency of a digital signal from N replicas of said digital signal shifted in phase with respect to one another by 2&pgr;/N. This method consists of selecting a first replica to generate the rising edge and a second replica to generate the falling edge, the first and second replicas of a period of the resulting signal being different from the first and second replicas used in the next period.
