Abstract
CMOS refers to both, reduction in size and power consumption. Here, the Dual Modulus Prescaler is to be fabricated in
90 nm technology. It basically comprises of AND logic which controls the pulses produced at the output i.e. 1 or 2
pulses that need to be generated at the output, from 256/257 input pulses respectively. The synchronous divide-by-4/5
divider uses symmetric fashion D flip-flops with nMOS gates and the inverters to achieve more than 10 GHz maximum
operating frequency. The use of this design will make the consumption of the power in microwatt, as the source couple
logic used in the previous design concepts has power consumption in mW [1]. This modules output is to be carried out
by using the Micro wind software 3.1. The prescaler will require 1.2-V supply. The prescaler’s estimated operating
frequency is upto 17 GHz.
