Abstract :
The concept of the composite CMOS transistor is generalised and extended to include both, composite bipolar and composite BiCMOS transistors. Two versions of the BiCMOS device and its applications in some linear circuits to reduce supply voltage requirements and increase effective transconductance are discussed. Experimental results using transistor arrays are presented.
