Abstract:
A frequency divider is disclosed herein. The frequency divider includes a first latch circuit and a second latch circuit coupled to the first latch circuit. Each of the first latch circuit and the second latch circuit includes a first level for generating a source current, a second level for receiving a pair of input signals and for generating a pair of output signals, and a third level for receiving the source current and a pair of clock signals. The second level is coupled between the first level and the third level. The first level includes a first transistor having a source terminal and a substrate both coupled to a source voltage. The third level includes a plurality of transistors controlled by the pair of clock signals. Each transistor in the third level has a source terminal and a substrate both coupled to ground.
