Abstract :
A 0.5-μm BiCMOS/CMOS gate array that incorporates a new basic cell topology with an uneven mix of MOS and bipolar devices is described. This approach is aimed at maximizing the utilization of a BiCMOS gate array by enabling three kinds of macros to be implemented without any silicon penalty: low-power CMOS, high-drive CMOS, and BiCMOS. Fabricated with 0.5-μm BiCMOS technology, the 5-V gate array features input and output buffers that can support TTL and ECL logic levels, as well as pseudo-ECL levels
