METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIVIDING DIGITAL SIGNAL BY X.5 IN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for dividing a clock signal by a non integer value to give an output signal exhibiting a 50/50 duty cycle. SOLUTION: An information handling system including a divider circuit is disclosed that divides an input clock signal by a non integer value to generate an output clock signal. The resultant output clock signal exhibits a 50/50 duty cycle in one embodiment. The disclosed divider methodology permits the design of advanced circuit functions, such as double data rate memory operations, without the need for additional clock signal sources.
