  • Patent number: 4007384
    Abstract: A high speed bipolar noninverting current-mode logic AND gate is the basic building block for a current-mode logic family. The AND gate comprises a current steering differential pair of transistors, a pair of dual emitter input transistors, a dual emitter reference transistor, an output resistor and a fixed current source. The conducting state of the current steering transistor pair is so controlled that a logic "one" at the base electrodes of both input transistors produces a logic "one" at an output terminal taken from the collector electrode of the reference transistor. Further, a logic "zero" at both input transistors produces a logic "zero" at the output terminal and finally the condition of a "zero" at one input and a "one" at the other input produces a "zero" at the output.
