At a low P O Y ~ ~ per gate range of lnu/gste, the calculated path propagation delay time of SPL gates loading wire capacitances of 0.57pF/gate is 2.75 times faster than the one of conventional ECL(Enitter Coupled Logic) gates. INTRODUCTION The performance of high-speed bipolar gate arrays using ECL circuit technology is usually limited by LSI power dissipation. Lor-power NTL (Non -Threshold Logic) (1) ( 2 ) circuit has been developed for the bipolar high-packing density LSI's. In Hitachi. 5000-gate NTL gate arrays have been applied for supercomputer S-820 and large -scaled commercial computers (3) . High performance of NTL circuit is obtained by a linear amplifier like operation and a speed-up capacitance(Fig.1). But the driving capability of loading capacitances of the NTL circuits still depends on the output emitter follower current level, mhich is the reason not to decrease the power dissipation. SPL's design concept is based on how to overcome this NTL weak point. CIRCUIT CONCEPT AND OPERATION Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of SPL circuit. SPL has outstanding driving capability of 0.1311s / PF at law gate power compared rith the other circuit types as shorn in Fig.2. This merit of SPL is obtained by an AC coupled active push-pull circuit driven by the NTL inherent input inverter transistor, To improve the impulse response time, the base terminal of the output pull-doun transistor is biased by the low impedance emitter of the additonal clamp transistor. Fig.3 shovs the simulation data of the output voltage waveforms and the transient current waveforms in order to charge and discharge the heavy loading capacitances of 3pF. To keep the driving capability and save the power dissipation, a coupling capacitance C1 i n SPL has better be changed according to the loading capacitance CL. The pull-down transistor shortly turns off to be high impedance state, which enables output vired OR function features. PATH DELAY SIMULATION To show the high-speed operation of SPL. the tentative logic path propagation delay time r e s simulated as shown in Fig.5. The logic path of conventional IO-stage ECL gates including wired AND (collector dotting) and wired OR (emitter dotting) functions is converted to the one of equivalent 15-stage SPL gates. A single ECL wired AND gate is equal to double SPL NOR gates in tandem. In spite of this handicap, the path delay of SPL keeps advantage against the one of ECL on the condition of average loading wire capacitances of 0.57pF/gate. At the low power level of l m / g a t e , SPL shows high speed path delay of 3.3ns, which improves ECL gate delay of 9.1\"s by a factor of 2.75. Moreover, these SPL features sill be enhanced according to the transistor parameter progress especially of ft, Cte and rbb'. SPL rill be a brakthrough force of developing highpacking density and high-speed LSI's.

This paper will discuss Circuit techniques l o eliminate conversion errors caused by the capacitor voltage dependence, and performance data from circuits realized in a linear CMOS process will be presented. bv Cawsilor Voltaoe DBoendence The dependence of capacitance on voltage can be expressed by (1) where V represents the potential differsnce between the capacitor plates 111. Depending upon the capacitor plate and dielectric materials and the dielectric thickness, the linear coefficient. CI, can vary from 10s to 100s parts per million per volt. The quadratic coefficient, Cp, is typically much smaller. rarely exceeding 10 ppmlvolt2. The schematic diagram of a single-ended chargeredistribution capacitor array is shown in Figure 1. Its operation accomplishes both the sample-and-hold and successive approximation functions. When sampling the analog input signal, the top plate common to all capacitors is charged to VRS while the bottom plates are charged to VIN. When the sampling switches open, successive approximation Is executed connecting the bottom plates of the capacitors to either of two ievels. usually a reference voltage VREF and ground. Upon completion. the common lop piate node will return to VRS. It can be shown that the conversion error caused by capacitor voltage dependence can be expressed as c = CO I1 + c,v + C2V2), ~ ~ l N ~ ~ v l N ~ v R E F ~ ~ c l 12+C2VRS +[VIN+VREFl[%/31). (2) Typically, CMOS ADCs up lo 10-bit resolution are implemented in the single-ended topology of Figure 1. and voltage coefficients up l o 800 ppmlvolt can be tolerated. Beyond IO-bit resolution, fully-differential topologies are used. This architecture provides substantial improvements in noise immunity as well as an important extra degree of freedom in the sample-and-hold operation that is exploited in this work. The fully-differential architecture is composed of two identical capacitor arrays. During sampling, the top plates of bcth arrays are charged to VsAM, while the bottom plates of one array are charged lo VIN+ and those of the other array are charged to VIN~. During successive approximation, the bottom plates are connected either to VREF or ground as in the single ended case. When a particular capacitor in one array is connected to VREF. the corresponding capacitor in the other array is connected to ground. Completion of conversion leaves both top plates at potential, VT.
