This paper presents a digitally controlled injection-locked multimodulus frequency divider (ILMFD) based on a ring-oscillator using inverter chains for a small area and low power consumption. In the proposed ILMFD, division ratios of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are achieved by using a programmable delay line that changes the self-oscillation frequency of the ring-oscillator. The locking range of the proposed ILMFD is improved by employing a dual-input injection scheme, which unlike previous multiinput injection schemes, does not require distinct phase inputs.

The proposed divider is the first reported multimodulus ILFD with digitally controlled division ratios and an in-phase dual-input injection scheme.
