| Popis: | A detailed study on the leverage of high-f/sub T/ transistors for advanced high-speed bipolar circuit applications is presented. It is shown that for the standard ECL (emitter-coupled logic) circuit, the leverage of high f/sub T/ is limited by the passive resistors (emitter-follower resistor and collector load resistor) and wire delay, especially in the low-power regime. For the standard NTL (nonthreshold logic) circuit, the leverage is higher due to its front-end configuration and lower power supply value. As the passive resistors are decoupled from the delay path in various advanced circuits utilizing active-pull-down schemes, the leverage of high F/sub T/ becomes more significant. > |
