Abstract
A hierarchical framework which connects device and technology design parameters to specific circuit applications is presented. A comprehensive list of functional circuit blocks which are used in the framework is defined. Examples of the use of this framework for designintensive circuits are given. In these specific examples, experimental data are presented which show the impact of device design on particular circuit applications. Technology-intensive circuit examples are also given which demonstrate the effect of technology enhancements on specific circuit applications. This framework and the device and technology data will help circuit designers evaluate the impact of specific device and technology improvements on particular circuit and system requirements.
