ABSTRACT:
A method for dividing a plurality of multiphase signals comprising performing resetable divider stages to the plurality of multiphase signals forming a plurality of divided multiphase signals having a monotonic increasing phase with equal spacing and an ideal duty cycle of 50% through a plurality of resetable dividers, wherein the plurality of divided multiphase signals have no phase ambiguity; and producing a plurality of periodic reset signals to the plurality of resetable dividers to enable the plurality of resetable dividers to divide the plurality of multiphase signals in a timely correct sequence to form the divided multiphase signal through a reset signal generator, the plurality of periodic reset signals being produced by a combinational network of the reset signal generator, the combination network is configured for generating a number of pulses based on the plurality of multiphase signals and performing a plurality of decimation stages and wherein the periodic reset signals are generated solely in response to the plurality of multiphase signals.
