Abstract :
The authors present a high-speed, low-power, 0.8-V-logic-swing BiCMOS circuit that operates at 1.6 V. It achieves a 40% reduction in delay time and a 45% improvement in power consumption over CMOS circuits, as well as a 40% reduction in delay time and a 35% improvement in power consumption over BiNMOS circuits. This excellent performance is achieved by an innovative method for quasi-reduction of the bipolar transistor turn-on voltage
