ECLips?
 

Hi all;

A search turned up an interesting excerpt from one
Michael Black from this newsgroup, wherein he was
describing designing a circuit using something called
a "Motorola ECLips" chip (to compose the frequency
divider portion of the circuit).

I looked high and low but could find no reference to
this. Anyone know what he's talking about? Date

"Old working wide band catv tuner".

Thanks in advance,
BB

That should be ECLinPS.

That would be the "ECL in ps" [ps = picoseconds] series of devices, have 10E
or 100E prefixes. Very high speed -- max clock rates typically 700 MHz to 1
GHz. [Stretching it a little to refer to them as picoseconds, IMHO]

Motorola originally named this logic family "ECLips" but had
to change it due to trademark infringment to "ECLinps".
The line was sold to On Semiconductor in the 1990's.
