New full-voltage-swing multi-drain/multi-collector complementary BiCMOS buffers (M2 CBiCMOS)

In this short paper we introduce new complementary BiCMOS buffers employing multidrain/multi-collector structures. These circuits offer near rail-to-rail output voltage, less circuit complexity, less process complexity, and high performance at scaled down power supply voltages (<2 V). The new circuits are configured in a way that ensures the implemented pnp BJTs (even poor ones) do not appreciably affect the speed performance. The introduced circuits are simulated and compared to conventional BiCMOS and CBiCMOS buffers.
