Abstract
A static read-only-memory (ROM) is derived from a gate array in which both P-channel transistor (24) and an N-channel transistor (30) are used to convey a logic 1 or 0 to a bitline (Bitline0). The invention maximizes the use of gate array transistors in a gate-array chip and achieves a high density of ROM bits per unit area. In CMOS gate arrays, transistors are arrayed in alternating rows of P-channel and N-channel transistors. A decoding scheme inverts the logic signal to each row of P-channel transistors to yield a functional ROM.
