Abstract
In this paper, the state-of-the-art of combined bipolar/CMOS (BiCMOS) technologies and circuit techniques is described. Examples of advanced BiCMOS technologies for various applications will be given, together with theoretical considerations which allow a comparison of the bipolar and MOS transistors. New BiCMOS circuit techniques are presented for analog and digital applications. It will be shown that the BiCMOS technology offers some significant advantages for analog circuits, such as operational amplifiers, low impedance output stages, and analog multipliers. Digital systems benefit from novel circuit techniques employed in buffers, interface circuits, logic gates, and large macrocells (e.g. multipliers, RAM, CAM). Several examples demonstrate the advantages of BiCMOS realizations over standard CMOS.
