Measurement and Analysis of Multiple Output Transient Propagation in BJT Analog Circuits

The propagation of MOTs in BJT ICs is reported for the first time. Laser experiments, Spice simulations and analysis of the SETs propagation in s-domain explain how MOTs are generated and propagate in the device.
