23 Gbit/s Si bipolar decision circuit consisting of 24 Gbit/s MUX and DEMUX ICs

A parallel operating decision circuit was built from high-speed MUX and DEMUX ICs both realised in a 0.8μm selfaligned single-polysilicon bipolar technology. The circuit operates up to 23 Gbit/s at a clock phase margin of 207 o . This is the highest data rate reported for a decision circuit in any IC technology
