description |
In order to keep pace with the rapid scaling down of technology, the ASIC
(Application specific integrated circuit) library has to be updated or
redeveloped regularly. Redevelopment of library is essential when the library
involves circuit techniques other than the static CMOS logic, where direct
scaling down of devices may cause the circuit to malfunction. In this thesis,
two new BiCMOS logic gates namely (a) a double capacitor full-swing BiCMOS
circuit and (b) a NMOS positive feedback full-swing BiCMOS circuit, which can
operate at a supply voltage below 1.5 V were introduced. The NMOS positive
feedback full-swing BiCMOS circuit though has higher intrinsic propagation
delay, in general, is better than the double capacitor full-swing BiCMOS design
in terms of power and area. Furthermore, it can operate at wider range of
supply voltages and process technologies. Hence, it is selected to be the core
design for building all the BiCMOS cells in the library. |
