A 3.8-mW 2.5-GHz dual-modulus prescaler in a 0.8 μm silicon bipolar production technology

This paper presents a dual-modulus ÷128÷129 prescaler operating up to 2.5 GHz. It consumes only 3.8 mW from a 2.3 V supply when driving an 8 pF capacitive load. The circuit is operational with supplies ranging from 2 V to over 7 V. With a 2 V supply it consumes only 1.38 mA while still operating up to 2 GHz. The circuit is manufactured in a standard silicon bipolar production process (Siemens B6HF). This 25 GHz-fT double-polysilicon technology uses 0.8 µm lithography and LOCOS isolation. The chip is mounted in a 6-pin SOT363 SMD package.
