A 1.2V 15.6mW 81GHz 2:1 static CML frequency divider with a band-pass load in a 90nm SOI CMOS technology

Abstract

A 2:1 static frequency divider using a band-pass load was fabricated in a digital 90nm SOI CMOS technology. The divider exhibits a maximum operating frequency of 81GHz at 1.2V, and a core power of 15.6mW. The divider can operate down to 0.5V at a maximum operating frequency of 75.6GHz with a core power of 2.75mW. © 2007 IEEE.
