Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the falling time of the circuit by employing a transistor(TR) for discharging an output load capacitor and an impedance circuit whose one terminal is connected to the emitter of the TR for discharging an output load capacitor and whose other terminal is connected to a lowest level point for the ECL circuit. CONSTITUTION:This ECL circuit is provided with a constant current source 1, an input TR 2, a reference TR 3, collector load resistors 4, 5, an output emitter follower (E.F) TR 6 and a differential output E.F TR 7. Moreover, the ECL circuit is provided with a TR 8 for discharging an output load capacitor, a current limit impedance 9, an output terminal 14 connected to an output load capacitor 10, a highest level line 11, a lowest level line 12, and an input terminal 13. When the level at the output terminal 14 is changed from a high level to a low level, the base levels of the E.F TR 7 are raised simultaneously, thereby increasing the collector current of the TR 8 for discharging the output load capacitor 10 and quickening the discharge of the output load capacitor 10. Thus, the falling time is shortened.
