A 1.0 micron BiCMOS process, with lateral DMOS as an available process extension, is presented for mixed-signal and power applications, providing a broad range of active and passive components. The DMOS transistor offers 45-60 V capability with Rsp=1.25 m/spl Omega/.cm/sup 2/. The process has been used to build a 5A H-Bridge for automotive applications, the design of which is described in detail.

A monolithic high speed low power transceiver for Manchester encoded data has been designed and integrated using Northern Telecom's advanced 0.8 micron BiCMOS process. The circuit was evaluated for use in high speed low power BiCMOS VLSI for large synchronous digital communication systems with point to point connections running at a rate of 622 Mb/s and operating from +3.3 V.

A high-speed, voltage-feedback operational amplifier capable of operating from +/- 1.8 V to +/- 20 V supplies and driving infinite capacitive load is described. Silicon evaluations show 188 MHz bandwidth and 1500 V//spl mu/s slew rate. Die size is 38/spl times/46 square mils in a tiny SOT package. The part has been fabricated on a 40 V poly-emitter complementary bipolar process.

A monolithic comparator implemented in a SiGe HBT technology is presented. The circuit employs a resettable slave stage, which was carefully designed to produce return-to-zero output data. Operation with sampling rates up to 5-GHz has been demonstrated. The comparator chip has an input range of 1.5 V, dissipates 89 mW from a 3-volt supply, and occupies a die area of 407/spl times/143 /spl mu/m/sup 2/.

A BiCMOS fully-differential, 10-bit, 40 MHz pipelined ADC has been developed. The ADC can digitize not only a fully-differential but also a single-ended signal over a wide input range with little variation in performance. At f/sub s/=40 MHz, the ADC exhibits a signal-to-(noise+distortion) ratio (SNDR) of 57.1 dB and consumes <400 mW from a single 5-V supply.

An in-situ highly doped arsenic polysilicon emitter technology has been developed as a way to improve the degradation of electrical characteristics suffered by narrow emitter bipolar transistors due to the plug effect. We have experimentally confirmed that transistors fabricated with the new technique have good electrical characteristics.

The contribution of the p/sup -/ substrate and channel stopper on the equivalent circuits of Si-bipolar transistors and bond pads are theoretically and experimentally investigated up to very high frequencies. Equivalent substrate circuits are derived and verified by numerical simulation using a new computer program. The validity of both the numerical simulation results and the equivalent circuits are checked by on-wafer measurements up to 20 GHz.
