Frequency divider functionality detection and adjustment

Abstract:

A frequency divider functionality detection and adjustment circuit includes an auxiliary voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) coupled to a first multiplexer (MUX), a programmable divider coupled to the first MUX, a second MUX coupled to the programmable divider, a counter coupled to the second MUX, and a controller coupled to the counter, the controller configured to adjust a supply voltage provided to the programmable divider based on a measured divide ratio, NMEAS.
