Abstract

Three high-speed, low-power integrated circuits are intended for data communication applications in space. A 16:1 multiplexer (1.8 Gb/s, 53 mW), 1:16 demultiplexer (1.1 Gbps/96 mW) and 16/spl times/16 crosspoint switch (1.0 Gb/s, 510 mW) circuits are fabricated using a 0.7 /spl mu/m complementary heterojunction field effect transistor (CHFET) process with cut-off frequencies of about 30 GHz for n-channel and about 6 GHz for p-channel transistors.
