Emitter-coupled logic

In electronics, emitter-coupled logic (ECL) is a high-speed integrated circuit bipolar transistor logic family. ECL uses an overdriven BJT differential amplifier with single-ended input and limited emitter current to avoid the saturated (fully on) region of operation and its slow turn-off behavior.〔
(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Fundamental Digital Electronics )
As the current is steered between two legs of an emitter-coupled pair, ECL is sometimes called ''current-steering logic'' (CSL),〔

''current-mode logic'' (CML)〔

or ''current-switch emitter-follower'' (CSEF) logic.〔

In ECL, the transistors are never in saturation, the input/output voltages have a small swing (0.8 V), the input impedance is high and the output resistance is low; as a result, the transistors change states quickly, gate delays are low, and the fanout capability is high.〔
〕 In addition, the essentially-constant current draw of the differential amplifiers minimises delays and glitches due to supply-line inductance and capacitance, and the complementary outputs decrease the propagation time of the whole circuit by reducing inverter count.
ECL's major disadvantage is that each gate continuously draws current, which means it requires (and dissipates) significantly more power than those of other logic families, especially when quiescent.
The equivalent of emitter-coupled logic made out of FETs is called source-coupled logic (SCFL).〔

A variation of ECL in which all signal paths and gate inputs are differential is known as differential current switch (DCS) logic.〔

== History ==

ECL was invented in August 1956 at IBM by Hannon S. Yourke.〔(Early Transistor History at IBM )〕〔. Yourke's circuits used commercial transistors and had an average gate delay of 12 ns.〕 Originally called ''current-steering logic'', it was used in the Stretch, IBM 7090, and IBM 7094 computers. The logic was also called a current mode circuit.〔, p. 37.〕 It is also used to make the ASLT circuits in the IBM 360/91.
Yourke's current switch, also known as ECL, was a differential amplifier, and the input logic levels were different from the output logic levels. "In current mode operation, however, the output signal consists of voltage levels which vary about a reference level different from the input reference level." In Yourke's design, the two logic reference levels differed by 3 volts. Consequently, two complementary versions were used: an NPN version and a PNP version. The NPN output could drive PNP inputs, and vice versa. "The disadvantages are that more different power supply voltages are needed, and both pnp and npn transistors are required."〔
Instead of alternating NPN and PNP stages, another coupling method employed zener diodes and resistors to shift the output logic levels to be the same as the input logic levels.
ECL circuits in the mid-1960s through the 1990s consisted of a differential amplifier input stage to perform logic, followed by an emitter follower to drive outputs and shift the output voltages so they will be compatible with the inputs.
Motorola introduced their first digital monolithic integrated circuit line, MECL I, in 1962. Motorola developed several improved series, with MECL II in 1966, MECL III in 1968 with 1 nanosecond gate propagation time and 300 MHz flip-flop toggle rates, and the 10,000 series (with lower power consumption and controlled edge speeds) in 1971.〔, pp vi-vii〕
The high power consumption associated with ECL has meant that it has been used mainly when high speed is a vital requirement. Older high-end mainframe computers, such as the Enterprise System/9000 members of IBM's ESA/390 computer family, used ECL〔 as did the Cray-1; and first generation Amdahl mainframes. (Current IBM mainframes use CMOS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IBM zEnterprise System Technical Introduction )〕) The DEC VAX 8000 computers used ECL.
