Abstract :
A new functional digital IC for multiplexing operation is proposed by using resonant tunneling diodes. The new proposed circuit topology is mainly based on the CML- MOBILE topology which has the features of self-latching and edge-triggering with reduced device count. The operation of the new functional digital IC is confirmed by implementing the circuit using an InP MMIC technology. The fabricated IC has operated with a low DC-power consumption of 42 mW while achieving a high-speed multiplexing data rate of 25 Gb/s for the first time based on quantum-effect devices.
