  • Abstract
    We present simulations and measurements of the sensitivity of a master-slave emitter-coupled logic (ECL) latched comparator implemented in an InP/GaInAs DHBT technology. The circuit exhibited simulated and experimental sensitivities of 11.5 mV and 17 mV, respectively, at a clock rate of 20 GHz, with no preamplifier.
