ABSTRACT:
A frequency divider circuit, and a digital PLL circuit including the same, which can suppress jitter occurring in an output signal, including a first circuit module which drives D-FFs connected in series using an input signal as a reference clock signal and divides the input signal by a frequency division ratio selected by a frequency division ratio determining signal to produce a first divided signal; a second circuit module which drives D-FFs connected in series using the first divided signal as a reference clock signal and divides the first divided signal by a frequency division ratio corresponding to the number of D-FFs connected in series to produce an output signal; and an OR circuit which produces a frequency division ratio determining signal based on the outputs of the D-FFs of the second circuit module and a frequency division ratio selecting signal.
