Abstract

The invention discloses a new type high speed prescale circuit which comprises two current mode logic latches (D-Latch) and two MIM (Metal Injection Molding) capacitors or two MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) pipe capacitors which achieve a current shaping function. An MOS sampling tube source common mold point of each of the two D-Latches is respectively connected with an amplitude phase current shaping unit to change amplitudes and phases of sampling tube current ID under a large signal operation state and enlarge phase shift theta which needs to be compensated through a load RC (Remote Control) network and accordingly a higher self-oscillation frequency is obtained and the high speed pre-frequency dividing circuit is provided with a higher working efficiency and a wider frequency-dividing range. The new type high speed prescale circuit is capable of being widely applied to a phase-locked loop module or a related module of a frequency synthesizer in the radio frequency identification field.
