Abstract :
A study program was conducted to provide guidelines for the design of integrated micropower logic circuits. Constraints of maximum resistance, propagation time, and minimum power at frequencies below 150 kcps were imposed. Complementary Resistor-Diode-Transistor Logic offered the best trade-off performance within these constraints and state-of-the-art fabrication technology. Compatible "NAND and NOR" gates and flip-flops are feasible at frequencies ranging from 1 kcps to 150 kcps at power drains of 10 to 350 microwatts.
