Automatic gain control (AGC) circuit for high density BiCMOS SRAM - 1989
Tran, Fung, Scott
In this paper an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit is discussed. This AGC circuit is applied to a high speed BiCMOS SRAM bitline scheme to control the bitline voltage swings so that they are independent of temperature, operation and process variations.

A speed enhancement DRAM array architecture with embedded ECC - 1989
Arimoto, Matsuda, Furutani, Tsukude, Oisiii, Mashiko, Fujishima
A scaling down principle brings a high speed switching and a low power dissipation with the reliability maintained [I-21. In addition to the dimension scaling down. an epoch-making array architecture with the countermeasure of smaller signal charge is required in a high speed 16MbDRAH.

The stabilized reference-line (SRL) technique for scaled DRAMs - 1989
Tsuchida, Ogwaki, Ohta, Takashima, Watanabe
Recently it has been reported that bitline interference noise increases with DRAM integration and that reduction of this noise is the key issue to realizing 16Mb DRAMs and beyond.(l) In order to reduce this interference noise.

A latch-up like new failure mechanism for high density cmos dynamic RAM's - hysteresis in operating Vcc range - 1989
Furuyama, Ishiuchi, Tanaka, Watanabe, Kohyama, Kiroura, Muraoka, Sugiura, Natori
AS the RAM has reached higher Integration, transistors have been miniaturized as well as the number of transistors on a chip has increased. Therefore, the substrate current generated by the RAM circuit due to impact ionization has increased drastically. In addition, since substrate impurity concentration has increased with the device scaling, the back-gate bias effect of a transistor has become st...... hiện toàn bộ

High performance VLSI processor architectures - 1989
Katz
Single-chip processor performance has improved dramatically since the inception of the four-bit microprocessor in 1971. This is due in part to technological advances (i.e., faster devices and greater device density), but also because of the adoption of architectural approaches well suited to the opportunities and limitations of VLSI. These approaches reduce off-chip memory accesses and admit of a ...... hiện toàn bộ

SPL (super push-pull logic) a bipolar novel low-power high-speed logic circuit - 1989
Usami, Shiozawa
In this contribution we would like to present a new bipolar low -power high -speed logic circuit named SPL (Super Push-pull Logic). At a low POY~~ per gate range of lmw/gate, 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(Emitter Coupled Logic) gates.
