  • Abstract
    A high-speed GaAs monolithic integrated decision circuit for Gbit/s optical repeaters, based on source coupled FET logic (SCFL) and designed to be completely ECL-compatible, has been developed. A clock phase margin of 150 degrees at 2 Gbit/s and IC yields of about 60% are achieved by using SCFL configuration. The developed IC operates stably from 10 to 60°C ambient temperature over a supply voltage fluctuation of more than 2 V.
