Emitter-coupled logic

  "term": "Emitter-coupled logic",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A high-speed bipolar transistor logic family that avoids saturation of its transistors, thereby reducing propagation delay. It uses a differential amplifier input stage and emitter-follower outputs. ECL circuits are known for their fast switching speeds, often in the sub-nanosecond range, but consume more power than other logic families.",
