ECL and differential

ECL and input
In ECL, the transistors are never in saturation, the input / output voltages have a small swing ( 0. 8 V ), the input impedance is high and the output resistance is low ; as a result, the transistors change states quickly, gate delays are low, and the fanout capability is high.

The high-performance ECL circuitry generated considerable heat, and Cray's designers spent as much effort on the design of the refrigeration system as they did on the rest of the mechanical design.
The RISC machine was to be based on ECL technology, and was one of three ECL projects Digital was undertaking at the time.
The logic circuits were based on ECL integrated circuits ( ICs ), whereas many machines of the era still relied on individual transistors or low-speed ICs.
They accomplish this by two mechanisms: Histamine released by ECL cells in the stomach is blocked from binding on parietal cell H < sub > 2 </ sub > receptors, which stimulate acid secretion ; therefore, other substances that promote acid secretion ( such as gastrin and acetylcholine ) have a reduced effect on parietal cells when the H < sub > 2 </ sub > receptors are blocked.

Note: this diagram does not illustrate gastrin's stimulatory effect on ECL cells.
This is done both directly on the parietal cell and indirectly via binding onto CCK2 / gastrin receptors on ECL cells in the stomach, which then responds by releasing histamine, which in turn acts in a paracrine manner on parietal cells stimulating them to secrete H + ions.
The parasympathetic nervous system, via the vagus nerve, and the hormone gastrin stimulate the parietal cell to produce gastric acid, both directly acting on parietal cells and indirectly, through the stimulation of the secretion of the hormone histamine from enterochromaffine-like cells ( ECL ).
Gastrin is more important indirectly by increasing histamine synthesis in ECL cells, as gastrin has no effect on the maximum histamin-stimulated gastric acid secretion.
