Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for generating clock signals. For example, certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a clock generation circuit. The clock generation circuit may include a first transistor connected in cascode with a second transistor, wherein an input clock node of the circuit is coupled to gates of the first and second transistors. The clock generation circuit may also include a frequency divider circuit having an input coupled to the input clock node, wherein an output of the frequency divider circuit is coupled to a source of the second transistor, and wherein an output node of the circuit is coupled to drains of the first and second transistors.
