发明名称 Emitter-coupled logic to CMOS logic converter and method of operation
摘要 An emitter-coupled logic to CMOS logic converter includes a first current mirror having a first transistor that has a terminal. The first current mirror is operable to mirror a current in the terminal of the first transistor to produce a mirrored first current. The converter also includes a first current sink operable to generate a first current in the terminal of the first transistor. The converter also includes a second current mirror having a second transistor that has a terminal. The second current mirror is operable to mirror a current in the terminal of the second transistor to produce a mirrored second current. The converter further includes a second current sink operable to generate a second current in the terminal of the second transistor and a differential input pair operable to receive a differential voltage input and direct a current, based on the differential voltage input, to the terminal of the first transistor or the terminal of the second transistor. In addition, the converter includes a third current mirror for mirroring the first mirrored current and the second mirrored current to produce an output voltage that varies in response to changes in the differential voltage input.
