General Description
Mimix Broadband's 2.0-16.0 GHz GaAs MMIC freqency divider is an ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic) static frequency divider (divide-by-four) consisting of two cascaded divide-by-two circuits. Even-order harmonic levels are minimized by driving the inputs with a balanced input signal, and by taking the output differentially, but the circuit can be operated in a single-ended fashion with unused inputs & outputs open circuit.
