A power-efficient 33 GHz 2:1 static frequency divider in 0.12-/spl mu/m SOI CMOS

A 2:1 static frequency divider was fabricated in a 0.12-/spl mu/m SOI CMOS technology. The divider exhibits a maximum operating frequency of 33 GHz. When the power consumption is scaled down to 2.7 mW, a maximum operating frequency of 25 GHz is measured.
