Abstract
An apparatus, including: a clock source configured to generate first and second clock signals based on an input clock signal, wherein each of the first and second clock signals has a frequency being substantially a frequency of the input clock signal divided by 2N+1, where N is an integer; and a logic circuit configured to perform a logic operation on the first and second clock signals to generate an output clock signal with a frequency being substantially the frequency of the input clock signal divided by NP5, where P5 is a half fraction.
