Original Kurzfassung:
This paper proposes an LO-divider circuit with nonoverlapping
quadrature phase generation in 180nm triple-well
CMOS. It addresses the problem of dealing with a reduced supply
voltage for power reduction, but still maintaining a sufficient
maximum operating frequency for radio-frequency applications.
The clock division and phase generation is done by using
cross-connected D-latches. A brief overview of different latch
architectures is given and compared concerning their power
consumption and maximum frequency. Simulation results of
an RC-extracted layout are presented, which show a current
consumption of 400 ?A at 868MHz output frequency.
