摘要
A novel low-power bipolar circuit for Gb/s LSI's, current mirror control logic (CMCL), is described, To reduce supply voltage and currents, the current sources of emitter-coupled-logic (ECL) series gate circuits are removed and the lower differential pairs are controlled by current mirror circuits, This enables circuits with the same function as two-stacked ECL circuits to operate at supply voltage of -2.0 V and reduces the current drawn through the driving circuits for the differential pairs to 50% of the conventional level shift circuits (emitter followers) in ECL, This CMCL circuit achieves 3.1-Gb/s (D-FF) and 43-GHz (T-FF) operation with a power supply voltage of -2.0 V and power dissipation of only 1.8 mW/(FF).
