Multiemitter BiCMOS CML circuits

New BiCMOS current-mode logic (CML) circuits employing multiemitter devices are proposed. They perform logic functions in addition to conversion from CMOS to CML (or ECL). Their transient behavior was analyzed, and their delay expressions were obtained and verified using HSPICE. These expressions were used to optimize their design. Their performance s compared with other BiCMOS CML circuits with similar functionality.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

A multiplier chip with multiple-valued bidirectional current-mode logic circuits

A description is given of a 32*32-bit signed digit multiplier implemented with multiple-valued, bidirectional, current-mode circuits and based on two-microcomputer complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. The multiplier can perform 32-bit two's-complement multiplication with three-stage SD full adders using a binary-tree addition scheme The effective multiplier size in the chip and the power dissipation are almost half that of the corresponding binary CMOS multiplier. The multiply time is comparable to that of the fastest binary multiplier. These results establish the effectiveness of the technology for future very large scale integration.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Analysis of load structures for current-mode logic

Integrated circuit technology allows load characteristics to be shaped to the requirements of a circuit. Because it is possible to claim advantages for a variety of loads, a computer-aided analysis is used to relate the transient characteristics of a current-mode logic circuit to its static load line. A variety of load lines have been studied and an integrated diode-clamped-type load structure appears to offer the best static and dynamic characteristics.
