Abstract :
GaAs frequency dividers for application to gigahertz-band equipment have been developed with E/D DCFL circuits. The relationship between maximum counting frequency and threshold voltage combination of the E-MESFET´s and the D-MESFET´s has been investigated in detail. The measured performance was as follows maximum counting frequency is 1.1 GHz with low dissipation power of 17 mW, and the values of dissipation power-divided-by-maximum-counting-frequency are as small as 1.6-16 pJ.
