Description

Describes logic functions and circuit schematics for high speed CML and ECL logic ICs of SSI (Small Scale Integration) and MSI (Medium Scale) complexity. All circuits use temperature compensation schemes designed to minimize logic level mismatch between packages operating at different temperatures. Includes a Divide by 10:11 Prescaler that became one of Fairchild’s largest selling ECL devices. It was typically used in communications systems outside the typical computer application for ECL devices.
