Abstract
An ultra-low supply voltage and low power dissipation fully static frequency InP SHBT divider operating at up to 38 GHz is reported. The fully differential parallel current switched configuration of D-latch maintains the speed advantages of CML circuits while allowing full functionality at a very low supply voltage. The frequency divider operates at up to 38 GHz at a single-ended input power of 0 dBm. The power dissipation of the toggled D-flip–flop is 8 mW at a power supply voltage of 1.3 V. The authors believe this is the lowest supply voltage for static frequency dividers around this frequency in any technology. This low power configuration is suitable for any digital integrated circuit.
