Subjects:	Bipolar integrated circuits, Bipolar transistors, Semiconductor storage devices, Speed, Low voltage integrated circuits, Digital electronics
Abstract:	This article focuses on bipolar memory circuits. The development of semiconductor devices leading to VLSI design has made it possible to build more complex circuits in ever smaller spaces. With the achievement of low power, high speed, and high density, bipolar technology is expected to be used widely in high-performance digital circuits. Emitter coupled logic using bipolar technology offers potential for the design of faster memories. This nonsaturated form of digital logic eliminates transistor storage time, a speed-limiting characteristic and thus permits very high speeds of operation.
