Measurements of test structures fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology show that the proposed PMOS load device concept can be utilized successfully for bias currents as low as 1 nA, achieving sufficiently high gain (>3) over a wide frequency range.CMOS integrated circuit designSource coupled logicUltra low powerDigital circuitsSubthreshold source-coupled logicSCLSTSCLCurrent-mode loigcCMLCMOS integrated circutsUltra low power subthreshold current-mode logic utilizing a novel PMOS load devicetext::journal::journal article::research article
