Abstract

A new CML-type SET/RESET latch has been proposed and fabricated using an InP-based RTD/HBT technology. By using the CML-type configuration in the proposed SET/RESET latch, the high-speed operation and the compatibility with the conventional ECL interface have been achieved. The basic operation of the proposed circuit has been confirmed through the DC transfer characteristic measurements. Also, the operation of the fabricated circuit with common-emitter output buffers has been demonstrated up to 10 Gb/s with low power consumption of 23 mW. This result indicates that the proposed CML-type topology can be exploited in the SET/RESET latch of the MOBlLE-based D-flip flops for high-speed/low-power digital applications.
