A 0.123 mW 7.25 GHz static frequency divider by 8 in a 120-nm SOI technology

Abstract

A static frequency divider by 8 was fabricated in a 120 nm SOI technology. The highest operation frequency achieved is 8.25 GHz at 1.5 V power supply. The lowest core power consumption achieved is 0.016 mW at 4 GHz when the lowest operating voltage supply of 0.75 V is used.
