摘要
This paper describes a 2/3 dual-modulus frequency divider operating up to an input frequency of 128 GHz. It is built with emitter-coupled logic (ECL) based d-type flip-flops (DFFs) and AND gates, where the AND gates are merged with the input stages of the DFFs. Inductive shunt peaking is implemented to boost the speed performance. The dual-modulus divider consumes 28mA from a 3.3V supply. It is produced with the IHP's next generation SiGe:C BiCMOS technology SG13G3 with f(t)/f(max) values of 470 GHz/610 GHz. The circuit constitutes a key component of a fully programmable frequency divider which is essential in phase-locked loops for mmWave communication and radar systems.
