Abstract
The operation and design of 200-MHz 100 K ECL output buffers for CMOS ASICs are described. It is shown how the components of the buffer output driver transistor, gate voltage generator, and low skew input drivers are combined into unique clock and data output buffers. A section on unity gain op-amp design describes how a number of these buffers are used on an ASIC. Application guidelines (curves) to illustrate the tradeoff between the buffer frequency and the number of buffers on an ASIC application are presented. The advantages that this input buffer provides in the area of low ground bounce generation is presented. Waveforms from an ASIC with 24 balanced and 16 single ended ECL output buffers are presented.<>
