CIRCUITS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS FOR FREQUENCY DIVISION

Circuits, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed for frequency division. In one such example circuit, a frequency divider is configured to alternate between providing a common frequency clock signal as an output clock signal through a first circuit responsive to a reference clock signal and providing a reduced frequency clock signal as the output clock signal through a second circuit responsive to the reference clock signal. The first and second circuits share a shared circuit through which the output clock signal is provided. An enable circuit is configured to cause the frequency divider to alternate between providing the common frequency clock signal as the output clock signal through the first circuit and the reduced frequency clock signal as the output clock signal through the second circuit.
