Abstract :
So far, the ASIC industry has looked at only traditional approaches, such as CMOS and BiCMOS gate array and standard cell, to solve various design issues. The authors discuss a detailed investigation that resulted in an innovative cell based array (CBA) architecture: BiNMOS-CBA with highly efficient CMOS compute cells and performance optimized drive cells with bipolar and NMOS transistors
