Abstract
SiGe BiCMOS technology provides a stable, ultra-high performance, semiconductor technology capable of supporting large mixed-signal VLSI circuit designs for a variety of emerging communications applications. This technology has been wedded to a CAD system that supports a variety of high-performance circuit designs, mixed-signal circuit block re-use, and the ability to accurately predict circuit performance at the highest frequencies. This paper will summarize the progress this technology has made in recent years in moving from the research laboratory into a production environment.
