Bipolar Integrated OR-NOR Gate in 4H-SiC

Article Preview

Abstract:

An integrated bipolar OR-NOR gate based on emitter coupled logic (ECL) is demonstrated in 4H-SiC. Operated from 27 up to 300 °C on –15 V supply voltage the logic gate exhibits stable noise margins (NMs) of about 1 V in the entire temperature range.
