Abstract :
BiCMOS technology and product architecture trends are examined. These trends are focused onto the emerging needs of systems architectures. Advantages and disadvantages of bipolar and CMOS technologies are discussed, demonstrating the ideal compromise that BiCMOS technology offers the systems designer. A systems perspective emphasizes BiCMOS technology as the solution to an environment that demands high performance as well as drive capability. Based on this BiCMOS technology, product, cost, and CAD support directions are projected
