A new high-speed divide-by-4/5 counter is developed. Based on this div
ide-by-4/5 counter, a 3V 2M similar to 1.1GHz dual-modulus divide-by-1
28/129 prescaler fabricated with 0.6 mu m CMOS technology is presented
. Its maximum operating frequency of 1.11GHz with power consumption of
19.2mW has been measured at a 3V supply voltage. In addition, for a p
ower supply of 1.5V, the circuit consumed 2.67mW at a maximum input fr
equency of 520MHz.
