Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for multiple-divisor prescaler, which includes an odd/even core divider, a divisor control logic unit, an odd number inserted mechanism, and an n-order divided-by-2 divider with changeable trigger edges. This invention uses a clock toggle mechanism to vary the trigger edges of each divided-by-2 divider in the n-order divider, and associates the odd/even core divider to realize the multiple-divisor prescaler apparatus. Thereby, it achieves the purpose of being divided by 30/31. In addition, it increases the divisor range up to 2 n−1 +2 and 2 n +1 through the use of the clock toggle mechanism.
