A sub-1 mA 1.5-GHz silicon bipolar dual modulus prescaler

This paper describes a 2.7-V dual modulus (/spl divide/64/65, /spl divide/128/129) prescaler that operates up to 1.5 GHz with a power consumption of 1.97 mW (Vcc=2.3 V, Icc=860 /spl mu/A). The prescaler also incorporates a stand-by mode feature, which reduces its power dissipation to 0.12 mW when enabled. This performance has been achieved on a 0.8-/spl mu/m advanced bipolar technology. >
