Abstract
A reduced word line voltage swing circuit is proposed in order to achieve high-speed ECL (emitter coupled logic) RAMs. This makes the word line voltage swing small without any sacrifice of the write operation, and allows 25% faster read operation to be obtained. In the circuit, large ISR and small reverse mode current gain are required for the fast write operation
