Abstract :
A novel bipolar gate array family is described. The family consists of four arrays and two macro libraries. With ECL (emitter-coupled logic), complexity ranges from 1500 to 10 000 equivalent gates, and with CML (current-mode logic), complexity covers 2250 to 15000 equivalent gates. Both CML and ECL macros can be mixed on any customer-defined chip. This novel duality allows tradeoffs between performance, power, and complexity on the same chip. The I/Os are designed to serve both ECL and TTL interfaces
