Abstract

A 67-GHz 1/4 static frequency divider using 0.2-μm self-aligned selective-epitaxial-growth SiGe heterqjunction bipolar transistors, with a 122-GHz cutoff frequency, a 163-GHz maximum oscillation frequency, and an average emitter coupled logic gate delay time of 5.65 ps, was developed. The pretracking master-slave toggle flip-flop (MS-TFF) of the divider increases the maximum operating frequency to about 15% higher than that of a conventional MS-TFF, yet the power consumption of the divider is 175 mW, which is 1/5 that of comparable dividers, at a supply voltage of -5.2 V. Index Terms -.
