Abstract
Multiple clock domain (MCD) systems have different blocks/IP cores operating at different frequencies. These different clocks are generated from a high frequency clock usually by integer division. Fractional-N frequency dividers (FFDs) are needed when the clock required by a block in MCD system is not possible to be derived by simple integer division. In this paper, we present such a FFD with an improved resolution of (1/8). Post layout simulation results after parasitic RC extraction in the 90-nm technology node show that our FFD is able to fractionally divide signals upto 2 GHz frequency with an average error of 0.11% in division ratio even with 2.5° phase error at the input. Our FFD consumes 754 μW when fractionally dividing a 2 GHz signal with a resolution of (1/8).
