Abstract :
Describes a gate array designed specifically for fiber-optic telecom or datacom mux/demux applications at up to 2.5 Gb/s. The device is fabricated in GaAs technology and uses standard ECL power forms and I/O levels. This gate array can convert a 2.5-Gb/s serial data stream to or from a 16-bit-wide parallel data at 155 Mb/s. Process technology, chip architecture, circuit design, and performance are outlined
