Abstract
A low-voltage high-speed frequency divider substantially reduces the power required to generate a half-rate in-phase clock signal and a half-rate quadrature-phase clock signal by reducing the number of pairs of transistors that respond to a full-rate clock signal and a full-rate inverse clock signal.
