V. Ramakrishnan et al., BROAD-BAND SINGLE-ENDED TO DIFFERENTIAL SIGNAL CONVERTER EMBEDDED IN SILICON DECISION CIRCUIT, Electronics Letters, 31(17), 1995, pp. 1400-1401
A broadband decision circuit with a novel single-ended input and diffe
rential output operating from DC to > 6 Gbit/s has been fabricated usi
ng silicon bipolar transistor technology. Single-ended to differential
signal conversion is realised within a single flip-flop stage by usin
g an emitter-coupled feedback loop which eliminates the need for a sta
ble reference voltage source.
