A Comparison of MOS PLAs

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

This paper discusses Pl.A designs in three MOS technologies: NMOS, CMOS/SOS and CMOS-Bulk. The purpose of this paper is not to introduce a new and exciting PLA design, nor is it to recommend one fabrication technology over another. Its purpose is to use PLAs as a standard, hopefully familiar layout strategy so that new designers can get a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of all three technologies from a designer's viewpoint. It is hoped that this paper will provide more data to those who must select a technology for their integrated circuit fabrication.

Additional Information

This work was supported in part by the Deep Space Network. Larry Matheney of Synmos, Chuck Seitz of Caltech, and Tom Griswold all contributed greatly to my understanding of CMOS. Don Speck and Pete Hunter laid out the CMOS SOS PLA.
