Frequency divider selects the channel of the frequency synthesizer. General programmable divider has many flip-flops to realize all integer division value and stability problem by using dual modules prescaler. In this paper, a new architecture of programmable divider is proposed and designed to improve these problems. The proposed programmable divider has only thirteen flip-flops. The programmable divider is designed by 0.65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology and HSPICE. Operating frequency of the programmable divider is 200MHz with a 3V supply voltage.

In this paper, a dual-band integer-N frequency divider is proposed for 2.4/5.2 GHz multi-standard wireless local area networks. It consists of a multi-modulus imbalance phase switching prescaler and two all-stage programmable counters. It is able to provide dual-band operation with high resolution while maintaining a low power consumption. This frequency divider is integrated with a 5 GHz VCO for multi-standard applications. Measurement results show that the VCO with frequency divider can work at 5.2 GHz with a total power consumption of 22 mW.

This paper is proposed a 8-bit anolog to digital converter for CMOS image sensor. A anolog to digital converter for CMOS image sensor is required function to control gain. Proposed anolog to digital converter is used frequency divider to control gain. At 3.3 Volt power supply, total static power dissipation is 8mW and programmable gain control range is 30dB. The gain control range can be easily increased with insertion of additional flip-flop at divided-by-N frequency divider circuit.

An RSFQ (Rapid Single Flux Quantum) counter can be used as a frequency divider that was an essential part of a programmable voltage standard chip. The voltage standard chip is composed of two circuit parts, a counter and an antenna Analog signal of tens to hundreds ㎓ may be applied to a finline antenna part. This analog signal can be converted to the stream of SFQ voltage pulses by a DC/SFQ circuit. The number of voltage pulses can be reduced by 2n times when they pass through a counter that is composed of n T Flip-Flops (Toggle Flip-Flop). Such a counter can be used not only as a frequency divider, but also to build a programmable voltage standard chip. So, its application range can be telecommunication, high speed RAM, microprocessor, etc. In this work, we have used Xic, WRspice, and L-meter to design an RSFQ counter. After circuit optimization, we could obtain the bias current margins of the T Flip-Flop circuit to be above 31％ Our RSFQ counter circuit designs were based on the 1 ㎄/$\textrm{cm}^2$ niobium trilayer technology.

A clock system is proposed to eliminate data loss due to frequency difference between sensor nodes in a sensor utility network. The proposed clock system for each sensor node consists of a bust clock-data recovery (CDR) circuit, a digital phase-locked loop outputting a 32-phase clock, and a digital frequency synthesizer using a programmable open-loop fractional divider. A CMOS oscillator using an active inductor is used instead of a burst CDR circuit for the first sensor node. The proposed clock system is designed by using a 65 nm CMOS process with a 1.2 V supply voltage. When the frequency error between the sensor nodes is 1%, the proposed burst CDR has a time jitter of only 4.95 ns with a frequency multiplied by 64 for a data rate of 5 Mbps as the reference clock. Furthermore, the frequency change of the designed digital frequency synthesizer is performed within one period of the output clock in the frequency range of 100 kHz to 320 MHz.

In this paper, a new Open and Closed Loop Alternation(OCLA) frequency synthesizer is developed to eliminate a frequency error occurring in the transition state of a frequency hopping. This frequency synthesizer consists of a phase comparator(PC), two low pass filters(LPF), two voltage controlled oscillators(VCO), switching elements, a programmable divider and frequency hopping controller, and the stabilized output frequency can be obtained by switching performance. In addigion, it can be found that the characteristic of its circuit construction makes it easy to attach an external circuitry to the open loop.
