Description

Block Single Modulus Prescaler divides the frequency of the input signal by a configurable integer value , which is transmitted to the div-by port. In frequency synthesizer circuits such as phase-locked frequency (PLL) systems, these pre-dividers divide the output frequency. Ring Oscillator VCO by an integer. The resulting lower frequency at the output port of the pre-divider is comparable to the reference signal at the input of the block PFD. A single-module pre-divider is also called an integer clock frequency divider.

Ports

Input

# clk in — input clock frequency
scalar

Details

The input clock frequency, set as a scalar. In the PLL system, the clk in port is connected to the output port of the block Ring Oscillator VCO.

# div by — the ratio of output and input clock frequency
scalar

Details

The ratio of the output and input clock frequency, expressed as an integer scalar.

Output

# clk out — Output clock frequency
scalar

Details

The output clock frequency, expressed as a scalar. In the PLL system, the clk out port is connected to the feedback Input of the unit PFD. The output signal of the clk out port is a sequence of rectangular pulses with an amplitude of 1 V.

Inside the mask

Details

Block Single Modulus Prescaler It contains a subsystem of the integer clock frequency divider. Inside the subsystem, the trigger port monitors the rising edges of the input clock signal coming to the clk in port. The output pulse is given only after detection clock cycles. As a result, the input clock frequency is reduced by once.
