Abstract :
Uncommitted logic arrays have been available to system designers for several years, but have hitherto mainly found application in digital signal processing. In the paper a proprietary communication IC application is described using an ECL array containing a mixture of analogue and digital circuitry. The array regenerates the data signals of a high-speed optical-fibre transmission system.
