However, a CAM is more complex and has lower storage density than a conventional address-based memory because of the overhead involved in the storage, comparison, manipulation, and output-selection logic. A CAM based on multiple-valued logic is proposed for high-speed word-parallel magnitude comparison. A typical application of the multiple-valued CAM is a collision detection VLSI processor for intelligent vehicles.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

Classical low-voltage heterodyne receivers consisting of bipolar transistor arrays require 50 to 60 external components to realize off-chip selectivity, filtering, demodulation, audio processing, etc. Zero or low intermediate frequency (IF) bipolar integrated circuit (IC) receivers with some on-chip base-band processing circuits require 25 to 40 components, but do not work at 0.9 V or drain more than 10 mA. This BiCMOS receiver IC is a full-featured single-conversion low IF narrow-band FM receiver that needs only 4 to 7 external components. This is made possible by a fully-integrated delay-line FM demodulator using parallelism that enables both automatic-frequency control (AFC) and muting to be realized at IF. Full functionality down to 0.9 V is obtained by ac coupling at radio frequencies (RF) and bulk forward biasing in the CMOS analog and digital building blocks. The receiver uses a BiCMOS process featuring vertical 3.6 /spl mu/m npn and pnp BJTs and 1.2 /spl mu/m 0.86 V V/sub Tmax/ MOS transistors.

The use of spread-spectrum techniques, in particular direct sequence code-division multiple access (CDMA), provides a multiple-access strategy to maintain parallel, separate streams of real-time data to all users, and to reduce sensitivity to multipath, narrow band fades, and interference present in the radio environment. Three chips in standard digital 0.8 /spl mu/m CMOS technology implement the critical parts of a spread spectrum transceiver: the digital modulator; the analog receiver front-end and ADC; and the digital receiver baseband processor.
