Near Huntsville? You've got to be kidding ...
Baptists and Lutherans get along quite well, and I love their choirs. They can make the rafters shake.

It must really stick in his craw when he learned that a good many of the ECL/PECL parts he buys from AZMicrotek were designed by yours truly ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
solution,
Why would that bother me? You seem to be OK at linear IC design.
I think we buy one part from AZM, a PECL/TTL converter, and few of those. The rest of their stuff is too slow. And we don't do much ECL any more; the gates inside an FPGA are a lot faster at 1/1000 the cost.
And I wouldn't use that AZM part in a new design; there are faster and cheaper ways to do it.

solution,
I think I am going the old 2N7002 plus transformer route, still hoping to find faster ones along the way. Maybe some dual-gate FETs.
But: Now I need complementary drives with gusto, to do the ping-pong drive. 5V min, sub-nsec transitions, source impedance each 20ohms or less. Ok, I could concoct something around 5GHz+ BJTs but when the guys see all that they are going to get sick.
What's the brute force logic du jour these days if one wants to stay clear of FPGA and in particular BGAs? LVC? The datasheets are flimsy, no rise and fall times, no info what it looks when loading the output to the hilt, only prop delays.

Have you used any of the SiGe logic parts? eg.

Wouldn't a fortune cookie factory be more likely to have a grain of rice on the front wall?

Yup (wife belongs to a Baptist church here). She's not in the choir, though. She doesn't like the director.

The building was plastered with the arguably racist signs like
ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/Lotus.jpg
but the Louie family put them up, so I guess it was an inside joke or something. Edward Louie invented the fortune-cookie making machine in
1974.ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/Fortune_Cookie_Machine.jpg
Good book: The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, all about Chinese food and the Chinese restaurant industry.

And the rise/fall times are in the datasheet, in contrast to regular logic.
Now if they had 5V swing I could drive my FETs with these ... :-)

Yes, we've use the GigaLogic parts, but they are very expensive. If all you need is fast edges, and not logic, consider an ADCMP582.

Yikes. Did anyone ever dare to stand on that balcony? I'd put up a sign "Max load 0.1 ton".
Is it still there somewhere?
We had lunch at our Japanese place. Lagunitas IPA on tap, yumm. Recently they started handing out fortune cookies, too. But I prefer the Korean ice cream.

Can I interest you in 6 volts, hard 560 ps rise/fall, 12 cents?

Real datasheets should have that in there. Just like they do for really fast ECL stuff.

It's a fire escape, and it's scary to stand on. Then there's a rickety ladder that goes up to the roof, and it's frankly terrifying to climb up... I've only done it once.
The Louies got out of the business. Their cookies were delicious but couldn't compete with imports. They found a Chinese food magnate in Brazil who wanted the machines so they disassembled them, marked every piece (sort of like the old London Bridge) and reassembled them in Brazil. They left us with outrageous 3-phase power and natural gas feeds.
We had Japanese for lunch, too, unagi and salmon rolls, but no beer for me; puts me to sleep if I have beer with lunch.
John
At least his invention lives on and hopefully he got a nice vacation in Brazil out of it.

But then how could I ever buy you burger and beer at Zeitgeist? :-)
