With dramatic increases in on-chip packing densities, routing congestion has become a major problem in integrated circuit design, impacting convergence, performance, and yield, and complicating the synthesis of critical interc- nects.

Current-mode circuits, where information is represented by the branch currents of the circuits rather than the nodal voltages as of voltage-mode circuits, possess many unique and attractive characteristics over their voltage-mode counterparts including a small nodal time constant, high current swing in the presence of a low supply voltage, reduced distor- tion, a low input impedance, a high output impedance, less sensitive to switching noise, and better ESD immunity.

The design and development of electrical devices involves choosing from many possible variants that which is the best or optimum according to one or several criteria.
