Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates generally to frequency divider circuits, and more specifically to digital frequency divider circuits. A frequency prescaler includes an asynchronous counter having a least significant stage clocked by an input signal, and a first true single phase clock flip-flop having an input stage with an embedded logic gate to decode a state of the asynchronous counter, configured to modify a modulus of the asynchronous counter.
