  • Abstract
    An ECL-compatible 4×4-bit parallel multiplier implemented using the GaAs D-MESFET logic approach of super capacitor FET logic has been realised. Fully functional circuit operation was obtained with a worst-case multiplication time of 1.4 ns (88 ps/gate) at 1.6 W dissipation, the best speed ever reported for a multiplier fabricated with GaAs MESFET technology.
