Abstract :
A monolithic microwave frequency divider IC with an operating range of 1.4 - 5.3 GHz was developed and fabricated in a standard bipolar technology. The circuit operates on the principle of "regenerative frequency division". Compared to the more popular divider concepts based on a master-slave D-flip-flop, a much higher input frequency can be divided. A further advantage is the low power consumption.
