  • Abstract
    New high-speed low-power BiCMOS nonthreshold logic (BNTL) circuits are presented. These circuits offers a built-in CMOS and bipolar level conversion and are suitable for reduced power supply voltage. A 4-b carry lookahead generator (CLG) circuit is designed in BNTL, ECL, and CMOS using 0.8-μm BiCMOS technology. Circuit simulations show that this new logic provides speed comparable to or better than that provided by emitter-coupled logic (ECL) for lower power dissipation
