Circuit arrangement for frequency division

A circuit for frequency division comprising, first and second input terminals, first and second transistors having emitter electrodes connected in common, first and second groups of transistors with each group comprising n transistors, n being at least two, each of said transistors having a collector, a base and an emitter, means connecting the emitter electrodes of the transistors of the first and second groups to the collector electrodes of the first and the second transistor respectively, to form a first cyclic electrical sequence of transistors with said sequence alternating between said first and second groups so that each transistor of one group is followed in said sequence by a transistor of the other group, means coupling the base electrodes of the transistors of the first cyclic sequence to the collector electrodes thereof so that the base electrode of any arbitrary transistor of the first cyclic sequence is always coupled to the collector electrode of the (n-1) transistor of said first sequence after said arbitrary transistor, means coupling each collector electrode of the transistors of said first and second groups via a load to a point of reference voltage, third and fourth transistors having emitter electrodes connected in common, third and fourth groups of transistors with each group comprising the same number of n transistors as are present in the first and second groups of transistors, each of said transistors having a collector, a base and an emitter, means connecting the emitter electrodes of the transistors of the third and the fourth groups to the collector electrodes of the third and the fourth transistor respectively, to form a second cyclic electrical sequence of transistors with said second sequence alternating between said third and fourth groups so that each transistor of one group is followed in said sequence by a transistor of the other group, means coupling the base electrodes of the transistors of the third and fourth groups to the collector electrodes thereof so that the base electrode of any arbitrary transistor of the second cyclic electrical sequence is always coupled to the collector electrode of the n.sup.th transistor of said second sequence after said arbitrary transistor, means connecting the collector of a transistor of the third group to the collector of a transistor of the first group and the collector of every next transistor of the third and the fourth group in the second sequence to the collector of the next transistor of the first and the second group in the first sequence, and wherein said first, second, third and fourth transistors each have a control electrode, and means coupling said control electrodes to said first and second input terminals so that said first and second transistors and said third and fourth transistors are turned on alternately by an input signal applied to said input terminals and with the first and fourth transistors simultaneously conductive and the second and third transistors simultaneously conductive.
