Abstract

The circuit includes cascaded first transistor and second transistor, which are bipolar joint transistor (BJT) and field effect transistor (FET) respectively. BJT receives overloading control signal, and FET receives overloading data in order to use cascaded control of BJT and FET to overload digital overloading data on ECL circuit. Since set overloading data is received by ECL directly, thus digital overload data does not need to pass through prepositive ECL voltage level conversion treatment. Before overloading control signal acts, the overloading data can be set to transfer to FET. Thus, the FET can be set to on or off. Once overloading control signal acts, the status of output is controlled based on overloading data so as to raise data overloading acting speed of the ECL circuit.
