ECL is the fastest of all logic families. High Speed in ECL is possible because transistors are used in difference amplifier configuration, in which they are never driven into ............... (1) Race condition (2) Saturation (3) Delay (4) High impedance

1 Answer

Answer :

Answer: 2 

Explanation: Emitter-coupled logic (ECL) is the fastest of all logic families and therefore is used in applications where very high speed is essential. High speeds have become possible in ECL because the transistors are used in difference amplifier configuration, in which they are never driven into saturation and thereby the storage time is eliminated.

Description : A client-server system uses a satellite network, with the satellite at a height of 40,000 kms. What is the best-case delay in response to a request? (Note that the speed of light in air is 3,00,000 km/second). (A) 133.33 m sec (B) 266.67 m sec (C) 400.00 m sec (D) 533.33 m sec

Last Answer : (D) 533.33 m sec Explanation: The request has to go up and down, and the response has to go up and down. The total path length traversed is thus 160.000 km. The speed of light in air and vacuum is 300,000 km/sec, so the propagation delay alone is 160,000/300,000 sec or about 533 msec.
