Abstract :
This work describes a novel low-density bipolar memory circuit which functions near the maximum clock rate of the technology. An InGaP/GaAs HBT implementation of a 64-bit programmable look up table memory is demonstrated. By simulation, the read function shows a 23ps delay through the memory array. Measurements of the circuit in package validates successful read operation at 5GHz
