ABSTRACT:
An single power supply ECL to TTL/CMOS translator is provided for converting a signal from differential ECL logic levels to TTL or CMOS compatible logic levels without introducing current spikes in the output signal during logic transitions. The differential ECL input signal is transformed into first and second differentially related signals having predetermined differential and single ended magnitudes. The first and second differentially related signals are then buffered and applied, as independent single ended signals, to first and second conduction paths controlling the first and second switching circuits in an output stage, respectively. The relative magnitudes of the first and second differentially related signals at the output of the buffer induce unequal slew rates at the input of the first and second conduction paths such that the first switching circuit is turned off before the second switching circuit is turn on thereby preventing simultaneous conduction and the associated undesirable current spikes flowing therethrough.
