  • Abstract
    The authors present a simple BiCMOS analytical delay formula, including high-level injection effects, and a table-lookup method for finding the optimal size ratio of MOS and bipolar transistors of a BiCMOS logic gate. Experimental results of their application in a circuit optimizer called the family mixing optimizer (FMO) are shown. Based on these approaches, the circuit optimizer can easily estimate delays and adjust transistor sizes, and quickly find most of the basic optimizations that can be made
