Abstract :
New digital CMOS sea-of-gates architectures are being developed in order to increase the flexibility and density in generating micro-cells. The key feature of these sea-of-gates architectures is the absence of a row-oriented architecture. This paper presents two newly developed sea-of-gates arrays. In order to investigate the suitability of the developed arrays a multiplier circuit has been designed and a test chip has been realized. The measurement results of this test chip are presented.
