Abstract

High-speed digital functions realised as a 30 GHz static frequency divider and 46 Gb/s multiplexer and demultiplexer are presented. These ICs demonstrate the speed potential of silicon bipolar technology obtained by optimized combination of well-proven transistor concepts and production technology like process steps in a 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS production environment. The measured results are record data not only for silicon but, except for the static divider, for all semiconductor technologies.
