Description
Summary:Under the auspices of Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Microsystems Technology Office (DARPA/MTO) Low Power Electronics Program, the Mayo Foundation is exploring ways to reduce circuit power consumption, while maintaining or increasing functionality, for existing military systems. Applications presently being explored by Mayo include all-digital radar receivers, electronic warfare receivers, and other types of digital signal processors. One of the integrated circuit technologies currently under investigation by Mayo to support such military systems is the IBM Corporation silicon germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS process. In this paper, design methodology and test results from demonstration circuits developed for these applications and implemented in the IBM SiGe BiCMOS technology are presented.
