I was trying to build a frequency divider by using a D-flipflop.

The input frequency is 500MHz, and the expected output frequency was 250MHz. But the output node is not oscillating..

What could be the problem of this circuit?

Thank you.

It will neither work as a D-FF at 500 kHz, because it's no valid FF circuit.

Your circuit is a D-latch. A D-FF would be comprised of two D-latches with one driven by an inverted clock.

Alternative you can make a D-FF of 3 RS-latches
