Abstract :
The authors give designers who are not familiar with ECL (emitter-coupled logic) ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) the basic knowledge necessary for starting an ECL array design. They cover basic ECL ASIC technology and explain how to take advantage of its unique features. The issue of power consumption and methods for reducing it are discussed in detail
