A High Performance Field Programmable Gate Arrays Created by SiGe HBT BiCMOS
نویسنده
چکیده
In 2000, the first high speed SiGe FPGA utilizing Current Mode Logic (CML) was proposed. The excellent high speed performance that CML allows made it a good candidate for use in high speed FPGA design. However, the large power consumption associated with CML (108mW for the FPGA building block) made the design difficult to scale up. To alleviate this problem, an improved FPGA with shorter propagation delays and less power consumption is now proposed.
