A binary frequency divider stage circuit with insulated gate field effect transistors (MOST) powered by a constant voltage source, comprising an input I for introducing an input signal and at least three logical nodes, each logical node being an interconnection between the drains of at least one n-channel MOST and at least one p-channel MOST, each logical node being connected to control means of at least one other node and being able to be used as an output, the source of one of the MOST (1) of at least one of the nodes (A) being connected to one terminal of the voltage source and the source of the other MOST (A) of the same node being connected to the drain of a third MOST (2), the source of which is connected to the other terminal of the voltage source, the node (A) establishing the interconnection between the drains of the p- and n-channel MOST being controlled by two variables, one being the input signal and the other being the signal from an other logical node (E), in such a way that one variable (I) drives the gates of the third MOST (2) and one pchannel MOST, and the other variable drives the gate of the nchannel MOST (4), allowing the corresponding node to float when this transistor (4) as well as the complementary transistor (1) driven by the other variable are both blocked.
