The potential of biopolar devices in LSI gigabit logic

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The logic swing can be reduced to improve propagation delays without affecting the noise margin due to switching transients. The author proposes a simple differential CML gate with small-geometry bipolar devices which can operate at gigabit logic speeds and at sub mW power levels. It is well suited to compete with GaAs technologies.
