High-Speed Low-Power AC-coupled Complementary Push-pull

This paper presents a high-speed low-power ac-coupled complementary push-pull ECL (AC-PP-ECL) circuit. The circuit utilizes two capacitors t couple a transient voltage pulse from the common-emitter node of the switching transistors to the bases of a pair of complementary pnp-npn push-pull transistors to provide a large transient current during switching.
