Abstract :
The factors favoring room-temperature CMOS as a replacement for emitter-coupled logic (ECL) technology are presented. Room-temperature CMOS´s integration scale. logic-function capabilities of basic circuits, wire length of logic signal nets, and power in system environments are discussed. To evaluate the possibilities of CMOS as a replacement technology, a VLSI chip model is studied.<>
