Abstract :
We report the development and performance measurement of packaged frequency dividers by 2 and 4. A typical range of 100 MHz to 3 GHz has been covered for a smaller than 0 dBm sinewave input signal, and for ambient temperature of 125 C. The basic cell is a single clock master-slave flip-flop designed in BFL logic. Functional wafer probing at 2GHz shows 85% typical yields.
