Frequency divider for high frequencies

A frequency divider comprising a first and a second bistable circuit, each comprising two-cross-coupled transistors,

• first and second gating transistors connecting said cross-coupled transistors of said first and second bistable circuits respectively to a point of constant potential;
• the base of said first gating transistor being connected to a first signal input, and the base of said second gating transistor being connected to a second signal input inverted relative to said first signal input;
• said first bistable circuit including a pair of auxiliary transistors, connecting the collector of each of said transistors of said first bistable circuit by means of collector-base path to a respective collector of one of said transistors of said second bistable circuit, the emitters of said auxiliary transistors being connected to a point of constant potential;
• and
• a coupling resistor having a tap, connected between the collector and base of each of the auxiliary transistors, said tap being connected to the base of said auxiliary transistor.
