Power-down arrangement for an ECL circuit

摘要

A circuit arrangement for reducing a reference supply voltage level of a reference generator for an ECL circuit during a power-down mode includes a reference generator for producing a reference supply voltage. A first switching network is connected to the input of the reference generator for disabling of the input of the reference generator in response to a control signal so as to reduce the level of the reference supply voltage. A second switching network is connected to the output of the referenced generator for disabling of the output of the reference generator in response to the control signal.
