Computer-aided design of large-scale integrated I/sup 2/L logic circuits

Thanks to the simple, regular structure of its basic gates, integrated injection logic (I/SUP 2/L) is particularly suited to automated design (CAD) procedures for evolving large-scale integrated digital circuits. This paper describes CAD methods for I/SUP 2/L circuits that permit the use of existing, tried CAD programs, and illustrates their application in the design of the I/SUP 2/L basic gate, computer simulation of I/SUP 2/L logic circuits, interconnection pattern generation, and preparation of a final layout plan.
