摘要:
A multi-layered, high performance integrated circuit package is disclosed having a number of design features which increase the performance and manufacturability of the integrated circuit package, and reduce the effects of parasitic noise generated within the package. The metallic layers connecting contact fingers formed on ledges around the periphery of a die cavity area, to their respective package pins are organized such that a ground metallic layer is interposed between each pair of input/output signal metallic layers, and each input/output signal metallic layer is sandwiched between a pair of metallic layers wherein one layer of the pair is connected to a voltage supply and the other layer of the pair is connected to a corresponding ground reference. On one of the ledges, contact fingers corresponding to a first set of input/output signals are evenly dispersed around contact fingers corresponding to the ground reference, and on another one of the ledges, contact fingers corresponding to a second set of input/output signals are evenly dispersed around contact fingers corresponding to the voltage supply. On a bottom surface of the integrated circuit package a plurality of pins are arranged in a pin-grid-array, and pins corresponding to the voltage supply and ground reference are placed in the four outer corners of the bottom surface, so as to minimize parasitic noise generated on the voltage and ground lines connected to these pins, by active circuitry of the packaged integrated circuit.

摘要:
A current mode logic circuit providing AND/OR type functions wherein "0" voltage level changes and spikes are substantially eliminated without sacrificing switching speeds by omitting conventional emitter and collector-dotting between the logic input gates and an emitter-follower output stage. The input gates employ diode loads for generating reduced signal swings for driving the output gate. The output gate contains more devices than a single emitter-follower output stage, but the reduced signal swing and a push-pull drive mode for the output gate offsets any increased switching times due to the greater number of devices and thus achieves the overall objectives without any overall sacrifice in switching speed.

A high band width logic gate including a basic current switch logic block and emitter-follower output transistors. A switchable active circuit current sink is connected between an internal voltage switching node associated with the current switch logic gate and the emitter terminal of the emitter-follower output transistor. The active current sink is switched between a relatively low conductive state to a relatively high nonsaturating conductive state in order to maintain substantially constant current flow through the emitter-follower output transistor during switching of the logic gate in order to significantly improve AC beta roll off characteristics.
