Emitter Coupled Logic

1) An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the operation of an Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) gate made using discrete components. 2) A simplified two-input ECL gate was constructed excluding the output stages. Voltages were measured at the inputs and outputs for different combinations of input voltages. 3) The voltage transfer characteristic of the ECL gate was determined by plotting the output voltage versus the input voltage. Noise margins were then calculated from these characteristics.

EMITTER COUPLED LOGIC (ECL)


OBJECTIVE:
To demonstrate the operation of an ECL gate made by using discrete components.


EQUIPMENTS:
Power supply, digital multimeter, potentiometer (100 k), diodes (1N4007), transistors
(BC550), and resistors.

BACKGROUND:
The experimentally measured value will be compared with the theoretically calculated value. In
the second part, a two
input ECL gate will be made excluding the emitter
follower output stages.

4- Let V(1) =-0.75 V and V(0) =-1.75 V. For different combinations of voltages, measure
the two output voltages and record their values in Table I. Also, measure the voltage at
point E in the circuit shown in Figure 2.

transistor for various combinations of input voltages.

voltages used in the experiment. Explain
