This paper proposes a High Performance Full-Swing BiCMOS (HiF-BiCMOS) circuit which improves on the conventional BiCMOS circuit. The HiF-BiCMOS circuit has all the merits of the conventional BiCMOS circuit and can realize full-swing logic operation. Especially, the speed of full-swing logic operation is much faster than that of conventional full-swing BiCMOS circuit. And the number of transistors added in the HiF-BiCMOS for full-swing logic operation is constant regardless of the number of logic gate inputs. The HiF-BiCMOS circui has high stability to variation of environment factors such as temperature. Also, it has a preamorphized Si layer was changed into the perfect crystal Si after the RTA. Remarkable scalability for power supply voltage according to the development of VLSI technology. The power dissipation of HiF-BiCMOS is very small and hardly increases about a large fanout. Though the Spice simulation, the validity of the proposed circuit design is proved.

This paper proposes a high speed interface using redundant multi-valued logic for high speed communication ICs. This circuit is composed of encoding circuit that serial binary data are received and converted into parallel redundant multi-valued data, and decoding circuit that convert redundant multi-valued data to parallel binary data. Because of the multi-valued data conversion, this circuit makes it possible to achieve higher operating speeds than that of a conventional binary logic. Using this logic, a 1:4 demultiplexer (DEMUX, serial-parallel converter) IC was designed using a 0.35${\mu}m$ standard CMOS Process. Proposed demultiplexer is achieved an operating speed of 3Gb/s with a supply voltage of 3.3V and with power consumption of 48mW. Designed circuit is limited by maximum operating frequency of process. Therefore, this circuit is to achieve CMOS communication ICs with an operating speed greater than 3Gb/s in submicron process of high of operating frequency.

The implementation of Multiple-Valued Logic(MVL) based on Current-Mode CMOS Logic(CMCL) circuits has recently been achieved. In this paper, four-valued Unary Multiple-Valued logic functions are synthesized using current-mode CMOS logic circuits. We properly make use of the fact that the CMCL addition of logic values represented using discrete current values can be performed at no cost and that negative logic values are readily available via reversing the direction of current flow. A synthesis process for CMCL circuits is based upon a logically complete set of basic elements. Proposed algorithm results in less expensive realization than those achieved using existing techniques in terms of the number of transistors needed. As an alternative to the cost-table techniques Universal Unary Programmable Circuit (UUPC) for a unary function is also proposed.

In this paper, the design of DYNAMIC CMOS ARRAY LOGIC which has both advantages of dynamic CMOS and array logic circuits is proposed. The major components of DYNAMIC CMOS ARRAY LOGIC are two-stage dunamic CMOS circuits and an internal clock generator. The function block of dynamic CMOS circuits is realized as a parallel interconnection of NMOS transistors. Therefore the operating speed of DYNAMIC CMOS ARRAY LOGIC is much faster than the one of the conventional dynamic CMOS PLAs and static CMOS PLA. Also, the charge redistribution problem by internl delay is solved. The internal clock generator generates four internal clocks that drive all the dynamic CMOS circuits. During evaluation, two clocks of them are delayed as compared with others. Therefore the race problem is completoly eliminated. The internal clock generator also prevents the reduction of circuit output voltage and noise margin due to leakage current and charge coupling without any penalty in circuit operating speed or chip area utilization.

Proposed DEMUX is achieved an operating speed of 4.5Gb/s with a supply voltage of 3.3V and with power consumption of 53mW. The operating speed of this circuit is limited by the maximum frequency which the 0.35um process has. Therefore, this circuit is to achieve CMOS communication ICs with an operating speed greater than 10Gb/s in submicron process of high operating frequency.

The expandable 4 bit adder/subtracter IC was designed using the adiabatic and dynamic CMOS logic (ADCL) circuit as the ultra-low power consumption basic logic circuit and the IC was fabricated using a standard 1.2 ${\mu}$ CMOS process. As the result the steady operation of 4 bit addition and subtraction has been confirmed even if the frequency of the sinusoidal supply voltage is higher than 10MHz. Additionally, by the simulation, at the frequency of 10MHz, energy consumption per operation is obtained as 93.67pJ (ar addition and as 118.67pJ for subtraction, respectively. Each energy is about 1110 in comparison with the case in which the conventional CMOS logic circuit is used. A simple and low power oscillation circuit is also proposed as the power supply circuit f3r the ADCL circuit. The oscillator operates with a less one volt of DC supply voltage and around one milli-watts power dissipation.
