Abstract
A pseudo-differential latch circuit is investigated. By removing the current source from the conventional source-coupled field-effect-transistor logic (SCFL) structure, the speed of the circuit can be improved. The pseudo-differential D-type flip-flop-based 2:1 static frequency divider, which can operate up to 18 GHz and consumes less than 4 mA from a 1.8 V supply, has been realised in 0.18 μm standard digital CMOS technology.
