A 15 GHz 2:1 Static Frequency Divider in a 1μm Silicon Bipolar Technology

A 2:1 static frequency divider with two separate outputs shifted in phase to each other by 90° is presented. The IC is fabricated with a 1 μm silicon bipolar self-aligning technology designed for a single supply voltage of 5 V. The maximum operating frequency of the static 2:1 frequency divider was found to be 15.7 GHz with a power consumption of 245 mW. To the authors knowledge this is the highest value reported for a 2:1 static frequency divider in this configuration.
