A 25-ns 16K CMOS PROM using a four-transistor cell and differential design techniques

A 25-ns, 250-mW, 2K/spl times/8 PROM using a 1.2-/spl mu/m n-well CMOS technology is described. Speed and programmability are optimized by separating the READ and WRITE transistor functions in a four-transistor differential cell and using differential design techniques. For the first time, a substrate bias generator is used in an EPROM technology to improve speed and raise latch-up immunity to over 200 mA.
