Abstract :
A low-power bipolar circuit for Gbit/s LSIs, Current Mirror Control Logic (CMCL), is proposed. To reduce supply voltage, the lower differential pairs of ECL series-gate circuits are replaced by current mirror circuits. This CMCL circuit achieves 3.1-Gbit/s (D-F/F) and 4.3-GHz (T-F/F) operation with a power supply voltage of -2.0 V and power dissipation of only 1.8 mW/(F/F).
