Using BiCMOS dynamic circuits and a parallel comparison algorithm a four 4-bit-input minimum circuit, designed based on a 2 µm BiCMOS technology, shows a 7.4 ns comparison time, which is a x 3 improvement in speed as compared with the CMOS circuit. In addition, this circuit has an expansion capability for realising largescale minimum circuits. © 1993, The Institution of Electrical Engineers.
