    Abstract: A fractional divider processing circuitry is to receive one of a plurality of clock signals as an input clock signal, and generate a first division clock signal based on the input clock signal and a first control signal. Phases of the plurality of clock signals partially overlap each other. The processing circuitry generates a delta-sigma modulation signal based on the first division clock signal and a frequency control word, and generates a second division clock signal based on the plurality of clock signals, the first division clock signal and a second control signal. The second control signal corresponds to a quantization noise of the delta-sigma modulation signal. The processing circuitry generates the second control signal and a digital control word based on the quantization noise of the delta-sigma modulator. The processing circuitry generates a final division clock signal based on the second division clock signal and the digital control word.
