  • Abstract
    A frequency divider with super-dynamic D-type flip-flop is demonstrated in 2 μm GalnP/GaAs HBT (fT = 40 GHz) technology. By biasing the HBT devices around tire peak transit-time frequency (fT), the operating frequency of a D-FF with ECNFP (emitter-coupled negative feedback pairs) can be improved. At a supply voltage of 5 y a divide-by-two function of 9.5 GHz is achieved.
