Abstract

In the preceding four chapters, we presented the analysis and design of GaAs logic circuits of different families: enhancementdepletion (ED) logic, transmission-gate logic, buffered ED logic, and source-coupled logic. In this concluding chapter, we shall present examples of systems design based on the GaAs technology. From the previous studies, four characteristics of GaAs circuits can be identified that are important in system design.
