Abstract :
A BiCMOS FCL circuit using depression mode NMOS transistors is proposed. An FCL circuit operates stably at multi-GHz frequency with 1.5 V power supply using low cost silicon technologies, which has never been achieved by any other circuit techniques. The FCL logic circuits can be implemented with low voltage CMOS on a single chip.
