Abstract :
Static frequency dividers are widely used technology performance benchmark circuits. Using a 0.25 mum 530 GHz fT I 600 GHz+ fmax InP DHBT process, a static frequency divider circuit has been designed, fabricated, and measured to operate up to 200.6 GHz. The divide-by-2 core flip/flop dissipates 228 mW.
