Abstract :
A simple model for the propagation delay of source coupled logic gates composed of a differential pair and a common drain output buffer in III-V HEMT technology is proposed. The propagation delay model has been used to develop a design strategy that permits pencil-and-paper design of the gates, accounting for power-delay trade-off. The methodology has been applied to a charge-control high-frequency model of the HEMT, but is general-purpose and applicable also to different models. In the present case, percentage errors lower than 15 % have been found in propagation delay evaluation.
