Improved Design and Characterization Method for Very High Speed Bipolar Circuits

摘要：

An improved design method for high speed bipolar　circuits is presented. It uses iso base-collector capacitance curves　superposed to the duty cycles plots in the (Ic,Vce) plane. This new　optimization way gives the optimum operating region for each　transistor of a bipolar circuit to reach the best trade-off between　the switching speed and the power consumption. Electrical design　of emitter-coupled pair,which constitutes the basis of Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL) circuits,is detailed to explain the design　method. Each part of the measurement set-up is characterized　in time and frequency domains to improve the measurement　method. These improvements have enabled the design and　characterization of InP double-heterojunction-bipolar transistormaster-slave D-type flip-flop circuits. 40Gb/s measurement withmore than 85 ％ eye-diagram opening validates this method.
