Abstract
This paper describes the optimization of logic gates using GaAs MESFETs. Nonlinear stored charges are evaluated, and propagation delays and power dissipations are computed for logic gates with and without load driver. The performances of these two circuit alternatives are compared, and parameter values are optimized to provide a minimum propagation delay for a given power allocation.
