Abstract :
A digitally programmable delay line and duty cycle controller with picosecond resolution is described. By using new circuits, it is possible to realize a timing range greater than 20 ns, with 4-ps resolution, a bandwidth greater than 800 MHz, and a power dissipation of 870 mW. The 2.34 mm×2.70 mm chip was fabricated on ECL-3, an advanced silicon ECL (emitter coupled logic) process
