The main features are a programming technique appropriate to the NAND structured cell and a dynamic sense amplifier. The NAND structured cell arranges 8 bits in series, sandwiched between two select transistors. The first transistor ensures selectivity; the second prevents the current from passing during programming operation. The current cell has one select transistor per bit. However, the NAND structure has only two select transistors per 8 bits; therefore it has only 1/4 select transistor and 1/16 contact hole per bit. Thus, the NAND structure can realize a smaller cell area than that of the current cell. For high-speed programming, a page mode is adopted. In read operation, address transition detection circuitry is used to precharge the bit lines and reset the read control circuitry. A summary of design characteristics is presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":385838,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, 1989 ISSCC.

The multiplier uses a modified Booth's algorithm to reduce the number of adders in the multiplier net. The basic building block of the adders and registers is a DCFL NOR gate with a special load structure. The heterostructure active layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on 3-in semi-insulating LEC (liquid encapsulated Czochralski) GaAs substrates. The output of bits 1 and 5, operating in the self-test mode, is shown. The circuit was found to perform vector rotations correctly at a clock rate of 560 MHz with a power dissipation of 6.2 W and at 520 MHz with a power dissipation of 4 W. The 520-MHz clock at 4 W corresponds to 96 ps/gate and 0.89 mW/gate because the pipelined stages are limited to 20 gate delays.
