Performance comparison of driver architectures in submicron CMOS and BiCMOS technologies for low voltage operation

The purpose of this paper is to compare various driver architectures in standard CMOS and BiCMOS submicron technologies. The advantages and limitations of the drivers performance are being presented, focusing on power supply voltages in the area of 3.3-1.5 V. It is shown that the BiNMOS driver exhibits a good performance down to 1.5 V and considering the simplicity of the circuit, is a very strong candidate for low voltage, low power VLSI circuits.
