APPLICATION NOTE
This application note provides detailed information on designing with Positive Emitter Coupled Logic (PECL) devices.
Introduction
PECL, or Positive Emitter Coupled Logic, is nothing
more than standard ECL devices run off of a positive power
supply. Because ECL, and therefore PECL, has long been
the “black magic” of the logic world many misconceptions
and falsehoods have arisen concerning its use. However,
many system problems which are difficult to address with
TTL or CMOS technologies are ideally suited to the
strengths of ECL. By breaking through the wall of
misinformation concerning the use of ECL, the TTL and
CMOS designers can arm themselves with a powerful
weapon to attack the most difficult of high speed problems.
It has long been accepted that ECL devices provide the
ultimate in logic speed; it is equally well known that the
price for this speed is a greater need for attention to detail in
the design and layout of the system PC boards. Because this
requirement stems only from the speed performance aspect
of ECL devices, as the speed performance of any logic
technology increases these same requirements will hold. As
can be seen in Table 1 the current state–of–the–art TTL and
CMOS logic families have attained performance levels
which require controlled impedance interconnect for even
relatively short distances between source and load. As a
result system designers who are using state–of–the–art TTL
or CMOS logic are already forced to deal with the special
requirements of high speed logic; thus it is a relatively small
step to extend their thinking from a TTL and CMOS bias to
include ECL devices where their special characteristics will
simplify the design task.

System Advantages of ECL
The most obvious area to incorporate ECL into an
otherwise CMOS/TTL design would be for a subsystem
which requires very fast data or signal processing. Although
this is the most obvious it may also be the least common.
Because of the need for translation between ECL and
CMOS/TTL technologies the performance gain must be
greater than the overhead required to translate back and forth
between technologies. With typical delays of six to seven
nanoseconds for translating between technologies, a
significant portion of the logic would need to be realized
using ECL for the overall system performance to improve.
However, for very high speed subsystem requirements ECL
may very well provide the best system solution.
Transmission Line Driving
Many of the inherent features of an ECL device make it
ideal for driving long, controlled impedance lines. The low
impedance of the open emitter outputs and high input
impedance of any standard ECL device make it ideally
suited for driving controlled impedance lines. Although
designed to drive 50lines an ECL device is equally adept
at driving lines of impedances of up to 130without
significant changes in the AC characteristics of the device.
Although some of the newer CMOS/TTL families have the
ability to drive 50lines many require special driver circuits
to supply the necessary currents to drive low impedance
transmission interconnect. In addition the large output
swings and relatively fast output slew rates of today’s high
performance CMOS/TTL devices exacerbate the problems
of crosstalk and EMI radiation. The problems of crosstalk
and EMI radiation, along with common mode noise and
signal amplitude losses, can be alleviated to a great degree
with the use of differential interconnect. Because of their
architectures, neither CMOS nor TTL devices are capable of
differential communication. The differential amplifier input
structure and complimentary outputs of ECL devices make
them perfectly suited for differential applications. As a
result, for systems requiring signal transmission between

Parallel Termination Schemes
Because the techniques using an extra VTT power supply
consume significantly less power, as the number of PECL
devices incorporated in the design increases the more
attractive the VTT supply termination scheme becomes.
Typically ECL is specified driving 50into a –2.0V,
therefore for PECL with a VCC supply different than ground
the VTT terminating voltage will be VCC – 2.0V. Ideally the
VTT supply would track 1:1 with VCC, however in theory
this scenario is highly unlikely. To ensure proper operation
of a PECL device within the system the tolerances of the VTT
and the VCC supplies should be considered. Assume for
instance that the nominal case is for a 50load (Rt) into a
+3.0V supply; for a 10H compatible device with a VOHmax
of –0.81V and a realistic VOLmin of –1 .85V the following
can be derived:
IOHmax = (VOHmax – VTT)/Rt
IOHmax = ({5.0 – 0.81} – 3.0)/50 = 23.8mA
IOLmin = (VOLmin – VTT)/Rt
IOLmin = ({5.0 – 1.85} – 3.0)/50 = 3.0mA
If +5% supplies are assumed a VCC of VCCnom –5% and a
VTT of VTTnom +5% will represent the worst case. Under
these conditions, the following output currents will result:
IOHmax = ({4.75 – 0.81} – 3.15)/50 = 15.8mA
IOLmin = ({4.75 – 1.85} – 3.15)/50 = 0mA
Using the other extremes for the supply voltages yields:
IOHmax = 31.8mA
IOLmin = 11mA
The changes in the IOH currents will affect the DC VOH
levels by ≈±40mV at the two extremes. However in the vast
majority of cases the DC levels for ECL devices are well
centered in their specification windows, thus this variation
will simply move the level within the valid specification
window and no loss of worst case noise margin will be seen.
The IOL situation on the other hand does pose a potential AC
problem. In the worst case situation the output emitter
follower could move into the cutoff state. The output emitter
followers of ECL devices are designed to be in the
conducting “on” state at all times. If cutoff, the delay of the
device will be increased due to the extra time required to pull
the output emitter follower out of the cutoff state. Again this
situation will arise only under a number of simultaneous
worst case situations and therefore is highly unlikely to
occur, but because of the potential it should not be
overlooked.
Thevenin Equivalent Termination Schemes
The Thevenin equivalent parallel termination technique
of Figure 3 is likely the most attractive scheme for the
CMOS/TTL designer who is using a small amount of ECL.
As mentioned earlier this technique will consume more
power, however the absence of an additional power supply
will more than compensate for the extra power
consumption. In addition, this extra power is consumed
entirely in the external resistors and thus will not affect the
reliability of the IC. As is the case with standard parallel
termination, the tolerances of the VTT and VCC supplies
should be addressed in the design phase. The following
equations provide a means of determining the two resistor
values and the resulting equivalent VTT terminating voltage.
R1 = R2 ({VCC – VTT}/{VTT – VEE})
R2 = ZO ({VCC – VEE}/{VCC – VTT})
VTT = VCC (R2/{R1 + R2})
For the typical setup:
VCC = 5.0V; VEE = GND; VTT = 3.0V; and ZO = 50
R2 = 50 ({5 – 0}/{5–3}) = 125
R1 = 125 ({5–3}/{3–0}) = 83.3
checking for VTT
VTT = 5 (125/{125 – 83.3}) = 3.0V

Because of the resistor divider network used to generate
VTT the variation in V will be intimately tied to the variation
in VCC. Differentiating the equation for VTT with respect to
VCC yields:
dVTT/dVCC = R2/(R1 + R2) dVCC
