Impact of Technology Scaling on the Performance of All-Time-On Single-Ended CMOS Logic

A qualitative analysis of the impact of technology scaling on the performance of all-time-on single-ended CMOS logic and MOS current mode logic (MCML) is presented. The analysis explains that the all-time-on CMOS single-ended logic is a strong competent to MCML at high speeds in current technology and also in future technology generations. Simulation results of a 4:1 MUX and a 1:4 DEMUX designed using either design techniques in different technology generations are provided in order to elucidate the impact of technology generations on the performance of either design techniques
