Flip-flop circuit and prescaler circuit including the same
A prescaler circuit according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a first flip-flop circuit that detects second output data and outputs the detected data as first output data, and a second flip-flop circuit that detects the first output data and outputs the data as the second output data. The first flip-flop circuit includes a master-side latch circuit that generates intermediate data, a slave-side latch circuit that detects the intermediate data and outputs the data as the first output data, and a control signal switching circuit that selects and outputs the first output data as a control signal in a mode where the frequency is divided by 3, and selects and outputs a predefined fixed signal as a control signal in a mode where the frequency is divided by 4. The master-side latch circuit generates the intermediate data based on the second output data and the control signal.
