Base-coupled transistor logic

摘要

A base-coupled logic gate is characterized by input Schottky diodes that are directly formed on the base region of the switching transistor for the gate. A logic of this type provides flexible circuit arrangements and savings in a required area, while achieving very high speeds. As a result of the savings in area, the buried layer capacitance of the gate is also reduced, which facilitates the high-speed operation of the circuit.
