Frequency divider using InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT DCFL-NOR gates

Abstract
The performance is examined of a divide-by-four circuit based on DCFL-NOR gates using a newly developed enhancement-mode N-InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT technology. A divider, with gates 1.2 μm long, had a maximum clock frequency of 5.8GHz and a power dissipation of 2.5mW/gate. It was found that the switching speed of an InP-based HEMT is 1.5 times faster than that of a GaAs-based HEMT.
