ABSTRACT:
A TTL-ECL converting circuit comprises a Schottky barrier diode, the cathode of which is connected to an input terminal receiving a TTL signal and the anode of which is connected to a first resistor, the other end of which is connected to a high voltage supply line. The circuit further includes a first transistor having its collector connected to the high voltage supply line, a base connected to the Schottky barrier and the first resistor and an emitter connected to a level shift resistor which is also connected to a cathode of a level shift diode having its anode connected to a constant current source which has its other end connected to a low voltage supply line. A second transistor provided in the circuit has its collector connected to the Schottky barrier diode and the first resistor, a base connected to a connection between the level shift resistor and the level shift diode, and an emitter connected through a further resistor to an intermediate voltage supply line. An emitter follower is connected between the intermediate voltage supply line and the low voltage supply line. The emitter follower has in input connected to the level shift diode and an output connected to an output terminal outputting an ECL signal.
