Low-voltage-swing CMOS transceivers

This report gives a brief overview of two new transceiver techniques. The emphasis is on low power dissipation and low noise. Because commonly used techniques such as Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) and Back Plane Transceiver Logic (BTL) are known to have a high power dissipation, they are not discussed in this article. Instead, two new techniques, named Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL) and Double Domino Transceiver Logic (D[sup 2]TL) will be discussed in detail
