  • Abstract
    Driver configurations and full-swing techniques for several types of BiCMOS logic circuits are compared to examine their performance in scaled technologies. Of the three driver configurations (common emitter, gated diode, and emitter follower) analyzed, the emitter-follower type is most advantageous for scale power-supply voltage circuits. Full-swing techniques boost the circuit performance, and base-emitter shunting is more favorable than collector-emitter shunting
