Model and Design of Bipolar and MOS Current-Mode Logic CML, ECL and

Current-Mode digital circuits have been extensively analyzed and used since the early days of digital ICs. In particular, bipolar Current-Mode digital circuits emerged as an approach to realize digital circuits with the highest speed. Together with its sp
