Abstract
A microwatt frequency divider for the 2.5-GHz ISM band is proposed. This divider directly modulates the output in a ring oscillator by means of a switch and realizes low power consumption with low supply voltage and a wide locking range. It is fabricated using a five-layer-metal and 0.2-/spl mu/m-gate length CMOS process. The core size is 10.8/spl times/10.5 /spl mu/m/sup 2/, which is much smaller than that of a typical inductor-enhanced frequency divider. This divider operates with a supply voltage in the range from 1.8 to 0.7V, and attains minimum power consumption of 44 /spl mu/W, in which case the supply voltage is 0.7 V, the maximum operating frequency is 4.3 GHz, and the locking range is 2.3 GHz. A derivation of the frequency locking range of the divider is provided in the Appendix.Keywords
