This paper presents a simple but effective improvement for source coupled logic (SCL) circuits and its application to dual modulus frequency prescaler design. By biasing the standard resistor-load SCL structure with a bias current inversely proportional to the resistor, logic levels are kept over process and temperature variations and, as a result, reliable operation is preserved over a wider range. This technique has been tested in a 1.8 V–0.18 μm CMOS front-end 8/9 prescaler, showing its feasibility for the target 1.35–2.7 GHz input range over all corners and a commercial temperature range of (0, +85 ºC). |
