Abstract
A new architecture for a high speed CML buffer is presented. The buffer is designed for OC-192/STM-64 applications to be used in the limiting amplifier which is a critical block in optical communication systems. OC-192/STM-64 works around 10Gbps. The proposed architecture is also more efficient in terms of area.
