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