Five popular logic families, namely, conventional CMOS, CPL, Domino, DCVS and MCML are represented highlighting their advantages and drawbacks. The behavior of each logic style in deep submicron technologies is analyzed and predicted for future generations. To verify the qualitative analysis, simulations were performed on the basic logic gates, full adder and a 16-bit carry look ahead adder. The circuits were implemented in 0.8, 0.6, 0.35 and 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS technologies.","PeriodicalId":20702,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2000 Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (Cat.

Fast acquisition minimizes the amount of synchronization overhead required in the communication link for maximum system throughput. Yet, the fast acquisition should be done with low energy for portable applications. Conventional acquisition techniques using matched filters or serial correlators alone provide either fast pseudo-noise (PN) acquisition for CDMA or low power dissipation but not both. This paper presents an ASIC which implements a hybrid PN acquisition architecture that achieves both fast acquisition and up to 50% reduction in energy dissipation compared to conventional techniques. This ASIC has been fabricated using 0.5-/spl mu/m CMOS technology with an area of 23 mm. It operates at 20 MHz with a 3.3 V supply and dissipates 50 mW per acquisition, or less than 1.5 mW per 50 byte packet.","PeriodicalId":20702,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2000 Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (Cat.
