Description
Summary:The designed Frequency Divider consists of two major parts, Dual-Modulus Prescalar (DMP) and PS-Sharing Counter. Design of the DMP is presented with consideration of low power consumption, while the emphasis of Frequency Divider is placed on the design of new PS-Sharing Counter. The PS-sharing Counter is proposed based on pulse-swallow concept to replace conventional Programmable Counter and Swallow Counter. It has advantage of less hardware, by nature, less hardware occupies less die area and consumes less power supply than conventional design does.
