Abstract :
A low supply voltage and low power ultra-high frequency divider is investigated. The proposed inverter of the frequency divider is able to operate at higher frequencies with enhanced output voltage swing and lower power consumption under an ultra-low supply voltage compared to that of existing divide-by-2 units. The frequency divider implemented with this inverter using the Chartered 0.18 μm CMOS process is capable of operating up to 10 GHz for a 1 V supply voltage with 1.3 mW power consumption.
