Abstract :
A distributed-load static frequency divider is designed in a 0.13-mum CMOS technology for wideband operation. The technique of a distributed load utilized in a current-mode logic (CML) circuit improves operating frequency by about 30% based on simulation results. Driven by a differential signal, the divider operates from 16 to 40 GHz while consuming 10 mW from a 2-V power supply
