50 GHz static frequency divider in 130 nm CMOS
A novel circuit topology and design procedure to increase the operating frequency of current model logic (CML) static frequency dividers is proposed. The topology and design procedure are used to design a 50 GHz CML static frequency divider in 130 nm CMOS. The designed divider has a 20 GHz division bandwidth and consumes 11.7 mW power from a 1.5 V supply.
