A 4.1 GHz–9.2 GHz Programmable Frequency Divider for Ka Band PLL Frequency Synthesizer

High speed divider is highly desired in the millimeter wave (mmW) frequency synthesizer design. A high operating frequency, low power consumption 90-nm CMOS programmable pulse swallow multi-modulus-divider is presented in this paper. High speed true-single-phase-clock D-flip-flop (TSPC DFF) is used...
