Abstract :
Utilizing National Semiconductor´s 0.8 μm ABiC IV BiCMOS process, an ECL gate array with an embedded PLL has been developed specifically for communication applications, e.g., SONET and fiber channel interface. The PLL can be programmed up to 2.5 GHz. Together with 1400 ECL gates, the array can be used to implement either serial-to-parallel or parallel-to-serial conversion functions up to SONET STS-48 interface
