The digital logic family which has the lowest propagation delay time is
 (A) ECL (B) TTL
 (C) CMOS (D) PMOS

1 Answer

Answer :

Ans: A
 The digital logic family which has the lowest propagation delay time is ECL
(Lowest propagation delay time is 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).
