Emitter-Coupled Logic Circuits Implemented with Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors

P.M. Asbeck, Debra L. Miller, R.J. Anderson, F. H. Eisen

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

This paper describes the first experimental demonstration of ECL circuits using (Ga,Al)As/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors. Ringoscillators were fabricated which exhibited propagation delay times as low as 185 ps, with devices fabricated on the basis of 2 μm design rules. Potential advantages of GaAs ECL circuits, their fabrication technology and their expected future performance are also discussed.
